“To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor
Because it blooms up above.”
― Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Women always put men first. That's how everything got so screwed up.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander

“Se aprendesse qualquer coisa, necessitaria aprender mais, e nunca ficaria satisfeito.”
