“Yes, I recognize Zarathustra. His eyes are clear now, no longer does he sneer with loathing. Just see how he dances along!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Dar a outra face é um símbolo de maturidade e força interior. Não se refere à face física, mas à psíquica. Dar a outra face é procurar fazer o bem a quem nos decepciona, é ter elegância para elogiar quem nos difama, altruísmo para ser gentil com quem nos aborrece. É sair silenciosamente e sem estardalhaço da linha de fogo dos que nos agridem. Dar a outra face previne homicídios, traumas, cicatrizes, impagáveis. Os fracos vingam-se, os fortes protegem-se.”
― Augusto Cury

“What if I forgave myself? I thought. What if I forgave myself even though I'd done something I shouldn't have? What if I was a liar and a cheat and there was no excuse for what I'd done other than because it was what I wanted and needed to do? What if I was sorry, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't do anything differently than I had done? What if I'd actually wanted to fuck every one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if yes was the right answer instead of no? What if what made me do all those things everyone thought I shouldn't have done was what also had got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?”

“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”
