“Se eu voltar a ter olhos, olharei verdadeiramente os olhos dos outros, como se estivesse a ver-lhes a alma, A alma, perguntou o velho da venda preta, Ou o espírito, o nome pouco importa, foi então que, surpreendentemente, se tivermos em conta que se trata de pessoa que não passou por estudos adiantados, a rapariga dos óculos escuros disse, Dentro de nós há uma coisa que não tem nome, essa coisa é o que somos.”
― José Saramago, Blindness

“The Girl With Many Eyes
One day in the park
I had quite a surprise.
I met a girl
who had many eyes.

She was really quite pretty
(and also quite shocking!)
and I noticed she had a mouth,
so we ended up talking.

We talked about flowers,
and her poetry classes,
and the problems she'd have
if she ever wore glasses.

It's great to know a girl
who has so many eyes,
but you really get wet
when she breaks down and cries.”
― Tim Burton

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
― Ernest Hemingway
