Rainer Maria Rilke
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Valter Hugo Mãe
“O Crisóstomo disse ao Camilo: todos nascemos filhos de mil pais e de mais mil mães, e a solidão é sobretudo a incapacidade de ver qualquer pessoa como nos pertencendo, para que nos pertença de verdade e se gere um cuidado mútuo. Como se os nossos mil pais e mais as nossas mil mães coincidissem em parte, como se fôssemos por aí irmãos, irmãos uns dos outros. Somos o resultado de tanta gente, de tanta história, tão grandes sonhos que vão passando de pessoa a pessoa, que nunca estaremos sós.”
valter hugo mãe, O Filho de Mil Homens

Joris-Karl Huysmans
“He lived within himself, nourished by his own substance, like some torpid creature which hibernates in caves. Solitude had reacted upon his brain like a narcotic. After having strained and enervated it, his mind had fallen victim to a sluggishness which annihilated his plans, broke his will power and invoked a cortège of vague reveries to which he passively submitted.
The confused medley of meditations on art and literature in which he had indulged since his isolation, as a dam to bar the current of old memories, had been rudely swept away, and the onrushing, irresistible wave crashed into the present and future, submerging everything beneath the blanket of the past, filling his mind with an immensity of sorrow, on whose surface floated, like futile wreckage, absurd trifles and dull episodes of his life.”
Joris-Karl Huysmans, Against Nature

Michel Houellebecq
“I didn’t even want to fuck her, or maybe I kind of wanted to fuck her but I also kind of wanted to die, I couldn’t really tell.”
Michel Houellebecq, Submission

Simone Weil
“Stars and blossoming fruit trees: Utter permanence and extreme fragility give an equal sense of eternity.”
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
