“O senhor escute meu coração, pegue no meu pulso. O senhor avista meus cabelos brancos... Viver - não é? - é muito perigoso. Porque ainda não se sabe. Porque aprender-a-viver é que é o viver, mesmo. O sertão me produz, depois me enguliu, depois me cuspiu do quente da boca... O senhor crê minha narração?”

“Of course life has no point. If it had, man would not be free, he'd become a slave to that point and his life would be governed by completely new criteria: the criteria of slavery. Like an animal, the point of whose life is that life itself, the continuation of the species.
An animal carries out its slavish activities because it can feel the point of its life instinctively. Therefore its sphere is restricted. Man, on the other hand, claims to aspire to the absolute.”
― Journal 1970-1986
