“As histórias dos heróis são sempre as histórias dos vitoriosos. E eles aumentam o tamanho dos próprios feitos para ocultar suas falhas. As histórias de amor, ao menos as trágicas e algumas poucas das cômicas, nascem da pena dos infelizes e dos malsucedidos, e eles não guardam ilusões quanto à verdade do que sentem.”
― Samir Machado de Machado, Quatro Soldados

“It’s a library, Daphne. If you can’t be a human here, where can you?”
― Emily Henry, Funny Story

“Life was for living, for enjoying and for sucking cock, Connor decided.”
― H.J. Perry, Our Secret Wedding

“It took me many years to realize that it’s hard to live in this world. I don’t mean the mechanics of living, because for most of us, our hearts will beat, our lungs will take in oxygen, without us doing anything at all to tell them to. For most of us, mechanically, physically, it’s harder to die than it is to live. But still we try to die. We drive too fast down winding roads, we have sex with strangers without wearing protection, we drink, we use drugs. We try to squeeze a little more life out of our lives. It’s natural to want to do that. But to be alive in the world, every day, as we are given more and more and more, as the nature of “what we can handle” changes and our methods for how we handle it change, too, that’s something of a miracle.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom
