“Na terra há tristeza dentro das coisas bonitas. 'Isso é por causa da saudade', disse o rapaz. 'Mas o que é saudade?', perguntou a Menina do Mar. 'A saudade é a tristeza que fica em nós quando as coisas de que gostamos se vão embora'.”
― Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

“For people could close their eyes to greatness, to horrors, to beauty, and their ears to melodies or deceiving words. But they couldn't escape scent. For scent was a brother of breath. Together with breath it entered human beings, who couldn't defend themselves against it, not if they wanted to live. And scent entered into their very core, went directly to their hearts, and decided for good and all between affection and contempt, disgust and lust, love and hate. He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
