Machado de Assis
“Assim, apanhados pela mãe, éramos dois e contrários, ela encobrindo com a palavra o que eu publicava pelo silêncio.”
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, Dom Casmurro

James Joyce
“One by one they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age. He thought of how she who lay beside him had locked in her heart for so many years that image of her lover’s eyes when he had told her that he did not wish to live.”
James Joyce, The Dead (A Novella)

James Joyce
“He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”
James Joyce, The Dead (A Novella)

Machado de Assis
“Prazos largos são fáceis de subscrever; a imaginação os faz infinitos.”
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, Dom Casmurro

Machado de Assis
“Há alguma exageração nisto; mas o discurso humano é assim mesmo, um composto de partes excessivas e partes diminutas, que se compensam, ajustando-se.”
Machado de Assis, Dom Casmurro
