“Crianças que estudam para cangaceiro na escola da miséria e da exploração do homem.”

“Nunca tivera uma alegria de criança. Se fizera homem antes dos dez anos para lutar pela mais miserável das vidas: a vida de criança abandonada. Nunca conseguira amar a ninguém, a não ser a este cachorro que o segue. Quando os corações das demais crianças ainda estão puros de sentimentos, o do Sem-Pernas já estava cheio de ódio. Odiava a cidade, a vida, os homens. Amava unicamente o seu ódio, sentimento que o fazia forte e corajoso apesar do defeito físico.”

“Mas os seios saltavam pontiagudos e as nádegas rolavam no vestido, porque os negros mesmo quando estão andando naturalmente é como se dançassem.”

“The "long suit" in most courtships is sex attraction, of course. Then gradually develops such comradeship as the two temperaments allow. Then, after marriage, there is either the establishment of a slow-growing, widely based friendship, the deepest, tenderest, sweetest of relations, all lit and warmed by the recurrent flame of love; or else that process is reversed, love cools and fades, no friendship grows, the whole relation turns from beauty to ashes.”

“Very early in my life it was too late. It was already too late when I was eighteen. Between eighteen and twenty-five my face took off in a new direction. I grew old at eighteen. I don't know if it's the same for everyone, I've never asked. But I believe I've heard of the way time can suddenly accelerate on people when they're going through even the most youthful and highly esteemed stages of life. My ageing was very sudden. I saw it spread over my features one by one, changing the relationship between them, making the eyes larger, the expression sadder, the mouth more final, leaving great creases in the forehead. But instead of being dismayed I watched this process with the same sort of interest I might have taken in the reading of a book.”
