W. Somerset Maugham
“He was at once to great and too small for love.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence

Georges Bernanos
“Jurei emocionar-vos, de amizade ou de cólera, tanto faz. Era assim que eu falava outrora no tempo da Grand Peur. Presentemente já me preocupa pouco emocionar, pelo menos de cólera. A cólera dos imbecis sempre me encheu de tristeza, hoje causar-me-ia pavor. O mundo inteiro ressoa com essa cólera. Que quereis? Eles não pediam mais do que não compreender nada e mesmo para
isso tinham que se juntar vários"

Why the light to the nations is so dim? Unfortunately for you, beyond a certain degree of deception, the most insolent phraseologies cannot mask the void of systems: the agnostic warns you about the conditions in the world for the hour shall strike when questions hurled at you from all points on earth shall be so urgent and so direct that you will not be able to answer except yes or no.”
George Bernanos

Almeida Faria
“Havia nevoeiro, casas, ruas, gente...tudo era cinzento e eu pensei que a terra estava liquidada e os homens se arrastavam alienados do real que os ignora e se vingam ignorando
e vi que era vil a vida assim...”
Almeida Faria

Stefan Zweig
“On the day I lost my passport I discovered, at the age of fifty-eight, that losing one’s native land implies more than parting with a circumscribed area of soil.”
Stefan Zweig, The World of Yesterday

Herberto Helder
“Talvez pudesse ouvir passos junto à porta do quarto, passos leves que estacariam enquanto a minha vida, toda ela, ficaria suspensa. Eu estaria então vagamente alimentado pela violência de uma esperança, preso à obscura respiração da pessoa parada. Os comboios passariam sempre. Eu estaria a pensar nas palavras do amor, naquilo que se pode dizer quando a estrema solidão nos dá um talento inconcebível. O meu talento seria o máximo talento de um homem e deveria reter, apenas pela sua força silenciosa, essa pessoa defronte da porta, a poucos metros, à distância de um simples movimento caloroso. Mas nesse instante ser-me-ia revelada a essencial crueldade do espírito.”
Herberto Helder
