“The world isn't interested in the storms you encountered, but whether or not you brought in the ship.”

“Their ships were steeds, and they rode the waves like jennets.”

“And I think that’s what growing up is all about, where you go, okay, this is it, this is about love-relationships are a disaster, everything is really screwed up, things don’t work out, people get divorces, I may not even like everything there is to like about myself—love anyway. Live anyway. Choose to be a part of this anyway.”

“The 20th century merits the name "The Century of Murder." 1915 Turks slaughtered 2 million Armenians. 1933 to 1954 the Soviet government encompassed the death of 20 to 65 million citizens. 1933 to 1945 Nazi Germany murdered more than 25 million people. 1948 Hindus and Muslims engaged in racial and religious strife that claimed more lives than could be reported. 1970 3 million Bangladesh were killed. 1971 Uganda managed the death of 300,000 people. 1975 Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia and murdered up to 3 million people. In recent times more than half a million of Rwanda's 6 million people have been murdered. At present times genocidal strife is underway in Bosnia, Somalia, Burundi and elsewhere. The people of the world have demonstrated themselves to be so capable of forgetting the murderous frenzies in which their fellows have participated that it is essential that one, at least, be remembered and the world be regularly reminded of it. _Consequences of the Holocaust by Raul Hilberg”

“I'd rather be this walking metamorphosis than having that old formed opinion about everything.”

“Ilusão, mentira, estúpido? Mas eu é que faço a verdade e a mentira. Eu é que a crio à custa de dor. Dou-lhe o meu bafo e a minha alma. Deus cria-me a mim - eu crio Deus. Um verdade pode ser abjecta, uma mentira pode construir outro mundo - outro Universo - outro céu.”
