“Eu, palavra, gosto do Ega! Lá essas coisas de realismo e romantismo, histórias... Um lírio é tão natural como um percevejo... Uns preferem fedor de sargeta; perfeitamente, destape-se o cano publico... Eu prefiro pós de marechala num seio branco; a mim o seio, e, lá vai à vossa. O que se quer, é coração. E o Ega tem-no. E tem faisca, tem rasgo, tem estilo... Pois, assim é que eles se querem, e, lá vai à saúde do Ega!”
― Eça de Queirós, Os Maias

“O português nunca pode ser homem de ideias, por causa da paixão da forma. A sua mania é fazer belas frases, ver-lhes o brilho, sentir-lhes a música. Se for necessário falsear a ideia, deixa-la incompleta, exagera-la, para a frase ganhar em beleza, o desgraçado não hesita... Vá-se pela água abaixo o pensamento, mas salve-se a bela frase.”
― Eça de Queirós, Os Maias

“American political discourse had framed the Jewish problem as an immigration problem. Germany's persecution of Jews raised the specter of a vast influx of Jewish refugees at a time when America was reeling from the Depression.”
― Erik Larson, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin

“I have always wondered what it would have been like for an outsider to have witnessed firsthand the gathering dark of Hitler’s rule. How did the city look, what did one hear, see, and smell, and how did diplomats and other visitors interpret the events occurring around them? Hindsight tells us that during that fragile time the course of history could so easily have been changed. Why, then, did no one change it? Why did it take so long to recognize the real danger posed by Hitler and his regime?”
― Erik Larson, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin
