Olivia estendeu o braço num floreado irónico.
- Dê a todos os homens o seu ouvido, mas a poucos a sua voz...
A loira ergueu uma sobrancelha interrogativa.
- Shakespeare - confessou Olivia. - Cortesia da minha mãe.
- E que mais lhe ensinou a sua mãe?
Olivia pensou um pouco.
- Uma senhora nunca acaba um cigarro, uma bebida ou uma refeição e dizia que era mais importante ser interessada do que interessante.

«Cheguei a um ponto em que quero ouvir tudo. Quero ouvir o que aconteceu, por mais feio, desconfortável ou enervante que possa ser. Porque, se não encararmos as coisas que nos fazem querer desviar os olhos, o mundo não passa de uma miragem. [...] Então, olhou para Charlie e ficou à espera.
Como tal, ele contou-lhe tudo. [...] como alguém disposto a aceitar o mundo tal como ele é.»

Quando passamos da vida de fazer para a vida de recordar, talvez nos tornemos mais sentimentais, mais suscetíveis à influência das nossas emoções.

Os fabulosos e os caídos. Era simplesmente animador ver tantos tipos diferentes de pessoas reunidas num único lugar para uma devoção partilhada que custava um tostão.

[...]
—It made me very good at estimating weights.

—Really, she said with a playful squint. Then how heavy am I?

—That’s not the sort of question a gentleman should answer.

—I’m not the type to take offense.

He tilted his head.

—105 pounds . . . ?

—Not bad! You’re only off by two.

—Was I heavy or light?

—Now, that’s going a step too far.

When he looked back, she was taking him in.() Then she stretched her hand across the table.
—I'm Evelyn Ross.
She had a fine grip.
—I'm Charlie Granger.
She took a new cigarette from the pack and lit it.
—So, what's your story, Charlie?
Then she pushed the pack across the table. It was the first time a woman had offered him a cigarette in more than twenty years.
So what's your story? and that's what Charlie told her.

Quando chegou a Los Angeles, Eve tinha uma lista de dez lugares que pretendia visitar à volta do mundo. E, no que lhe dizia respeito, quanto mais depressa zarpasse melhor.

-Temos tempo? - quis saber Eve.
- O Packard tem um motor V8, Menina Ross. Tempo é uma coisa que até podemos fazer!
- Então, vamos lá fazê-lo, Billy!

Fora precisamente para aquele momento que ele se tornara advogado: o momento em que os cidadãos, decididos a exercer toda a sua vingança ou misericórdia, ainda estavam preparados para ouvir.

...e de repente deu-se conta da fome que tinha. Era a fome de uma vida inteira de jantares, bebidas e cigarros deixados a meio. Como tal, quando Eva lhe ofereceu um dos churros, Olivia praticamente lho arrancou da mão antes de lhe dar uma valente dentada.

Théo d'Or "A lady never finishes a cigarette, a drink, or a meal, and she use to say that it was more important
to be interested than to be interesting. "

Une perle, cette phrase.

Elementary, my dear — though such advice is followed only now and then.

Théo d'Or I only know a lady, who's developed a strange habit - she only use green lighters. Could it be an ecological thing ?

If she’s Portuguese, she’s bound to be a Sporting Lisbon supporter.


message 6: by Théo d'Or (new)

Théo d'Or How did you know?? It really is ! We even use to go to stadiums , that's where she learned to swear. Quite an asset for a lady, isn't it ?

Ladies who support Sporting Lisbon don’t swear. Perhaps it’s the ones from the other side of the Segunda Circular who do. :))


message 8: by Théo d'Or (new)

Théo d'Or You guessed again.


Maria  C «Olivia e a loira ficaram em silêncio, refletindo por um momento sobre conselhos maternais e outros monólitos. Então, ela ergueu o cigarro para mostrar que ainda só estava meio fumado e, com um sorriso de resignação, apagou-o.»

😉

Théo d'Or Btw, did you know that at the beginnings, Hollywood was actually " Hollywoodland "? I wonder how it would have been called Lisbon, in the same context. Lisbonland ?

I only know Bollywood...

Théo d'Or So, Lisbonwood ?


Maria  C Théo d'Or wrote: "🚬 # respeito #"

Conventions are hard to forget.


Maria  C Théo d'Or wrote: "So, Lisbonwood ?"

Lisbonwood, no.... I was once an extra in a Bollywood film. It was shot in Goa.


message 16: by Théo d'Or (new)

Théo d'Or Have you visited Big Foot, in Goa?


Maria  C Théo d'Or wrote: "Have you visited Big Foot, in Goa?"

No. I only have visited Little Goa.
Anyone who’s seen Goa doesn’t need to see Lisbon. And....There’s an epidemic in Lisbon — an epidemic of viewpoints. After all, the city was built on seven hills.


message 18: by Théo d'Or (new)

Théo d'Or I was impressed by that huge sculpture there, the longest laterite sculpture in India, depicting a revered 16-th century poet saint. 14 meters. A poet - saint....that's very beautiful.
