"Porque na verdade eles só esperam isso, que os retiremos de seu profundo torpor para ressurgir e repetir continuamente as mesmas obsessões, os mesmos desastres."

"Talvez seja uma estupidez dizer que ele nunca mais foi o mesmo depois da visita do agente, pois um homem nunca é o mesmo não importa o que aconteça, o velho nunca mais foi o mesmo depois da morte de minha mãe e nunca mais foi o mesmo depois do acidente, mas o fato é que se existem acontecimentos que parecem marcar uma vida a ferro em brasa, esse com certeza foi um."

"— Você aguenta? — ela pergunta para o filho.
— Claro que sim — responde o pai."

"O menino, deitado no banco de trás, tranca a respiração, se pergunta como o túnel consegue sustentar todo aquele peso sozinho. A montanha não poderia cair de repente e sepultá-los?"

"Muitos morrerão no caminho, azulados pelo grande frio ou levados pela disenteria por beber a água parada dos charcos onde os rebanhos selvagens matam a sede. Os homens cavarão para eles, com a força de seus dedos ou de suas lâminas, tristes buracos no solo."

"It is impossible to tell what proportion is memory and what exists here and now—so that a strange compound is formed of memory and reality; past and present; response to stimuli stored in my brain centers, and response to stimuli in this room. It’s as if all the things I’ve learned have fused into a crystal universe spinning before me so that I can see all the facets of it reflected in gorgeous bursts of light…."

"Somehow, getting drunk had momentarily broken down the conscious barriers that kept the old Charlie Gordon hidden deep in my mind. As I suspected all along, he was not really gone. Nothing in our minds is ever really gone. The operation had covered him over with a veneer of education and culture, but emotionally he was there—watching and waiting. What was he waiting for?"

"Solitude gives me a chance to read and think, and now that the memories are coming through again—to rediscover my past, to find out who and what I really am. If anything should go wrong, I’ll have at least that."

"What is my place? Who and what am I now? Am I the sum of my life or only of the past months? Oh, how impatient they get when I try to discuss it with them. They don’t like to admit that they don’t know."

"But even as I write these words, something inside shouts that there is more. I’m a person. I was somebody before I went under the surgeon’s knife. And I have to love someone."

"I hated her as I had never hated anyone before—with her easy answers and maternal fussing. I wanted to slap her face, to make her crawl, and then to hold her in my arms and kiss her."

"If your smart you can have lots of frends to talk to and you never get lonley by yourself all the time."

"I said I dint care because I aint afraid of nothing. Im very strong and I always do good and beside I got my luky rabits foot and I never breakd a mirrir in my life. I droppd some dishis once but that dont count for bad luk."

Maravilhoso

PORRA QUE OBRA DE ARTE

"It was only when she left the bedchambers and headed down the hallway, her head held high and her resolve steeling itself with every step, that she realized she was either one step closer to becoming a proper empress, or another step closer to becoming a widow."

"It was only when she was around him that she stopped feeling all the terrible, terrible things that came with being the first wife of the emperor. She didn’t have to think about the future too much when he was standing in front of her, showing her he cared for her."
Essa pensamento simples dela foi a parte do livro que mais me perturbou. Surreal. Could never be me.

"We haunted each other’s sets like booth vultures, lurking until our comrade had to pee and uttered the four words we’d been waiting to hear, Hey, wanna get on? And there we were, DJing for free. Grinning like idiots. We were consumed by our craft and addicted to the adulation."

"Her gaze flicked to the rest of the garden, where the winding paths would lead to safety, but within these palace walls he owned, there was nowhere that was safe."

"Nightlife could be breakneck, but there were also moments of grace that, like the music itself, helped me stay connected to something higher, something beyond myself."

"A party tune needs a party, or at least a dance circle. Also, the unwritten code of DJing stated, “Thou shalt play a song only once.” Repeating big tracks makes it obvious that it’s the songs—not you—making the night."

"There was always a duality to this kind of life—a pain lingering under the surface. I’d seen it growing up. Jemz and I had a shorthand: in a rare quiet moment, one of us would murmur, “Tears of a clown, right?” acknowledging the shadow side of our hijinx. You were seeing people at their best and their worst, and there was always a fear that you’d lose balance and tip into the darker aspects of it."

"Robin and my mother emitted a zany energy, but I was used to how adults behaved at night. They were always more fun and less irritable. Shouting, tension—those were for the day."

surreal.

"— É a mesma coisa por aqui — disse Joanna. — Até durante a noite. E todos os homens...
— A Associação Masculina! — gritou Bobbie. Conversaram a esse respeito — sobre a antiquada injustiça em matéria de sexo, verdadeira injustiça, numa cidade sem nenhuma organização feminina, nem mesmo uma liga de eleitoras."

"Joanna retornou ao pátio. Não, ela não sabia como eram as coisas, graças a Deus. Ser como ela, uma doméstica convicta, nunca. Quem poderia criticar Ted por se aproveitar de uma bobalhona que estava pedindo para ser explorada?
Ela poderia criticá-lo, isso sim."

eu ja ia lacrar mas essa ultima frase me fez apagar o textao

"Pete e Kim discutiam mais alto:
— Seu cocô! Diarreia!"

to achando a escrita desse livro mt interessante e engraçadinha

"The more I heard, the more I knew, the bigger my feelings for him grew. That is what it meant to know someone. The more you knew, the more your heart swelled, opened, showed its tender light, and grew larger, like a water-soaked pinecone drying out."
