“Mãe, que é que é o mar, Mãe?" - Mar era longe, muito longe dali, espécie duma lagôa enorme, um mundo d'água sem fim, Mãe mesma nunca tinha avistado o mar, suspirava. - "Pois, Mãe, então mar é o que a gente tem saudade?”
― Guimarães Rosa

“A tyrant's trust dishonors those who earn it.”

“Against an economism void of values other than those of exchange, protest stood for reuniting the festival and daily life, for transforming daily life into a site of desire and pleasure. The protesters were protesting against the fact, simultaneously obvious and ignored, that delight and joy, pleasure and desire, desert a society that is content with satisfaction—that is to say, catalogued, created needs that procure some particular object and evaporate in it.”
― Henri Lefebvre, Critique of Everyday Life, Volume 1
