“Foolishness? No, It’s Not
Sometimes I spend all day trying to count the leaves on a single tree. To do this I have to climb branch by branch and write down the numbers in a little book. So I suppose, from their point of view, it’s reasonable that my friends say: what foolishness! She’s got her head in the clouds again.
But it’s not. Of course I have to give up, but by then I’m half crazy with the wonder of it — the abundance of the leaves, the quietness of the branches, the hopelessness of my effort. And I am in that delicious and important place, roaring with laughter, full of earth-praise.”
― A Thousand Mornings: Poems

“- Não sei... não sei. .. Tu é que resolves. Eu morreria de tédio numa
colina como Nova Itália.(...)Não queiras saber a angústia que eu sentia quando via anoitecer. E note-se que andávamos sempre metidos em festas.
- A gente foge da solidão quando tem medo dos próprios pensamentos,
da própria memória...
- Talvez...
- Mas se tu soubesses como a solidão nos pode enriquecer...
Eugênio encolheu os ombros. A palavra solidão lembrava-lhe estranhamente a sua angústia de entaipado das noites de tempestade.”

“Things! Burn them, burn them! Make a beautiful fire! More room in your heart for love, for the trees! For the birds who own nothing—the reason they can fly.”
