“Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.”
― Langston Hughes, The Collected Poems

“A lembrança dos teus beijos
Inda na minh’alma existe,
Como um perfume perdido,
Nas folhas dum livro triste.

Perfume tão esquisito
E de tal suavidade,
Que mesmo desaparecido
Revive numa saudade!”
― Florbela Espanca, Poesia Completa

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

“Lagrimas ocultas


Lagrimas ocultas


Se me ponho a cismar em outras eras
Em que ri e cantei, em que era q'rida,
Parece-me que foi noutras esferas,
Parece-me que foi numa outra vida...


E a minha triste boca dolorida
Que dantes tinha o rir das Primaveras,
Esbate as linhas graves e severas
E cai num abandono de esquecida!


E fico, pensativa, olhando o vago...
Toma a brandura plácida dum lago
O meu rosto de monja de marfim...


E as lágrimas que choro, branca e calma,
Ninguém as vê brotar dentro da alma!
Ninguém as vê cair dentro de mim!”
― Florbela Espanca, Livro de Mágoas
