Book cover for Triste Fim de Policarpo Quaresma
O altissonante título de general, que lembrava coisas sobre-humanas dos Césares, dos Turennes e dos Gustavos Adolfos, ficava mal naquele homem plácido, medíocre, bonachão, cuja única preocupação era casar as cinco filhas e arranjar ...more

Andrei Platonov
“People themselves would grind one another down and tear one another to pieces, and the best would fall dead in the struggle while the worst would turn into animals.”
Andrei Platonov, The Return and Other Stories

Umberto Eco
“We need an enemy to give people hope. Someone said that patriotism is the last refuge of cowards: those without moral principles usually wrap a flag around themselves, and the bastards always talk about the purity of the race. National identity is the last bastion of the dispossessed. But the meaning of identity is now based on hatred, on hatred for those who are not the same. Hatred has to be cultivated as a civic passion. The enemy is the friend of the people. You always want someone to hate in order to feel justified in your own misery. Hatred is the primordial passion. It is love that’s abnormal.”
Umberto Eco

Luís da Câmara Cascudo
“Agora que estamos tentando possuir uma literatura brasileira, sem o estreito regionalismo e pondo na Arte o mundo poliforme das esperanças nativas, o folclore sertanejo terá um papel eficiente e decisivo fixando a fisionomia espiritual do Povo, nas suas manifestações de crença, atitude ancestralmente definidora da moral coletiva em face duma geração que interroga e analisa.

É o coração humano, inquieto e palpitando em presença do susto, do sobrenatural e do inexplicável.

Sob a jaqueta de lã do Bretão ou na gibona de couro do vaqueiro, o pavor é idêntico, vendo, debaixo das oiticicas imensas ou na penumbra dos menires batidos pelo luar, a figura ligeira e negra, impressionadora e terrível do "loup-garou", do lobisomem, capelobo dos índios, erudito "versipellio", herança atávica do medo na alma triste dos homens...

"Lobisomem Sertanejo"
In: Revista do Brasil, São Paulo, Ano VIII, n. 94 p. 129-133, out. 1923”
Luís da Câmara Cascudo

Andrei Platonov
“Do you know how much thinking and feeling I’ve done? It’s terrible. And nothing’s come of it.”
Andrei Platonov

William S. Burroughs
“The word has not been recognized as a virus because it has achieved a state of stable symbiosis with the host.”
William S. Burroughs, The Electronic Revolution
