'Saíste um dia em busca de alguém que prometia partilhar mundos contigo e ao
regressar encontraste mortos, ruínas e o teu próprio espectro mirando-te cara a
cara.'

Gabriella Marenzio

“ O que mais dói na miséria é a ignorância que ela tem de si mesma. Confrontados com a ausência de tudo, os homens abstêm-se do sonho, desarmando-se do desejo de serem outros. Existe no nada essa ilusão de plenitude que faz parar a vida e anoitecer as vozes.”

Mia Couto, Vozes Anoitecidas

"And my soul from out that shadow

that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted

Nevermore..."

Edgar Allan Poe

"Apercebo-me de que a agitação da cidade despertou há muito em mim o ódio contra a civilização. A imagem estúpida de homens que correm como loucos ao ritmo desse barulho infernal parece-me ser a antítese detestável da melodiosa música de fundo que constitui o sussurro silencioso das folhas."

Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy - the joy of being Salvador Dalí - and I ask myself in rapture: What wonderful things this Salvador Dalí is going to accomplish today?"

"I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait."

"The reason that some portraits don't look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures."

"The world will admire me. Perhaps I'll be despised and misunderstood, but I'll be a great genius, I'm certain of it."

"There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction."

"When I was five years old I saw an insect that had been eaten by ants and of which nothing remained except the shell. Through the holes in its anatomy one could see the sky. Every time I wish to attain purity I look at the sky through flesh."

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places - worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere - going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression - no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow - no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday - Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen - sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me - no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me - look right through me

Gary Jules,"Mad world"

"In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."
Albert Camus

"When you are sitting right on the edge of something daring and scary and creative and powerful and perhaps wonderful... and you blink and take a step back. That's the moment. The moment between you and remarkable. Most people blink. Most people get stuck. All the hard work and preparation and daring and luck is nothing compared with the ability to not blink."
