“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”

Leo Oliveira
“É preciso amar o seu coração, Lisa, assim como a pessoa que você é. Somente depois disso você será capaz de entregá-lo a alguém. O amor, assim como todas as coisas mais importantes desse mundo, requer cuidado. Jamais entregue a sua felicidade nas mãos de alguém que não saberá aproveitá-la. A resposta está onde os olhos recusam a ver, mas você – Disse Lucien, tocando a mão de Lisa. –, somente você, saberá onde encontrá-la. – Explicou. – Em meu reino, na maioria das vezes ela está na lua ou no sol, na magia que reverbera pelo nosso corpo. No seu reino, acredito eu, ela está nas estrelas.”
Leo Oliveira, Todos nós vemos estrelas

“Abusers do not need to be, and rarely are, cackling maniacs. They just need to want something and not care how they get it.”
