Eça de Queirós
“- Falhamos a vida, menino!
- Creio que sim... Mas todo o mundo mais ou menos a falha. Isto é, falha-se sempre na realidade aquela vida que se planeou com a imaginação. Diz-se: «vou ser assim, porque a beleza está em ser assim». E nunca se é assim, é-se invariavelmente assado, como dizia o pobre marquês. Ás vezes melhor, mas sempre diferente.”
José Maria Eça de Queirós, Os Maias

Marguerite Duras
“I’ve never written, though I thought I wrote, never loved, though I thought I loved, never done anything but wait outside the closed door.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover

Marguerite Duras
“I feel a sadness I expected and which comes only from myself. I say I’ve always been sad. That I can see the same sadness in photos of myself when I was small. That today, recognizing it as the sadness I’ve always had, I could almost call it by my own name, it’s so like me.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover

Marguerite Duras
“It's while it's being lived that life is immortal, while it's still alive. Immortality is not a matter of more or less time, its not really a question of immortality but of something else that remains unknown. It's as untrue to say it's without beginning or end as to say it begins and ends with the life of the spirit, since it partakes both of the spirit and of the pursuit of the void.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover

Eça de Queirós
“Não há nada novo sob o Sol, e a eterna repetição das coisas é a eterna repetição dos males. Quanto mais se sabe mais se pena. E o justo como o perverso, nascidos do pó, em pó se tornam.”
Eça de Queirós
