DOS MOMENTOS

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

 

(Maya Angelou)

DA VERDADE

"If I only had three words of advice, they would be, Tell the Truth. If I got three more words, I'd add, All the Time."

 

(Randy Pausch)

DOS BEIJOS

"Desde sempre que me deixei foder pelos beijos. Se querem morrer amiúde, percam-se nos beijos. Não no que o corpo faz. Nisso, a alma dá o desconto."

 

(Filipa in Dúvidas cor-de-rosa)

 

DA VIDA

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

 

(Unknown)

DO ÓDIO

“Não odeies o teu inimigo, porque, se o fazes, és de algum modo o seu escravo. O teu ódio nunca será melhor do que a tua paz.”

 

(Jorge Luis Borges)

DO QUE PODES FAZER COMIGO

(Lawrence Durrell)

DO QUE NÃO SEI SE SOU

“(…) tenho o nome duma flor quando me chamas.

quando me tocas, nem eu sei

se sou água, rapariga ou algum pomar que atravessei (…)”

 

(Eugénio de Andrade)

 

DO POUCO MAIS QUE FARIA CONTIGO

"Ontem de olhos postos num monitor que mostrava um coração que insistia em não bater num ritmo sinusal lembrei-me disso. É o compasso de espera. A infinita e repetida descoberta de que somos incompetentes até para gerir o bater do nosso coração. Podemos dizer ao nosso coração para não bater assim, podemos permitir que o encharquem em drogas para ele ter um ritmo apropriado, que se ele não estiver para aí virado…não há nada, que alguém possa fazer.

Roubaste-me o coração. Sim. Tenho a certeza que algures entre os teus AVC’s, as tuas escleroses, as tuas outras maleitas que não me despertam particular interesse está o meu coração partido. Cheio de disparos ectópicos, repleto de profunda incompetência para se suster a si mesmo.

Sabes, é muito desagradável continuar a sonhar contigo, a pensar em ti de vez em quando, a sentir este nó profundo quando confrontada com as coisas que te trazem a mim.
Disse-te com toda a minha arrogância adeus. Disse-o, arrisco-me a dizer que, à luz do que sei hoje, voltaria a dizer.
Que faria eu com um homem como tu?
Amor, todas as noites…
Pouco mais que isso."

(Sahaisis in 'Keeping it simple is complicated')

 

DAS COISAS QUE NUNCA DISSE

“nunca escrevi
sou
apenas um tradutor de silêncios.
a vida
tatuou-me nos olhos
janelas em que me transcrevo e apago
sou um soldado
que se apaixona
pelo inimigo que vai matar.”

(Mia Couto)

DOS RECOMEÇOS

(Grey’s Anatomy)

DAS COISAS QUE SE CONFUNDEM

“Beauty and the devil are the same thing.”

 

(Robert Mapplethorpe)

DO SOFRIMENTO QUE ESCOLHEMOS NÃO TER

"A cada dia que vivo, mais me convenço de que o desperdício da vida está no amor que não damos, nas forças que não usamos, na prudência egoísta que nada arrisca, e que, esquivando-se do sofrimento, perdemos também a felicidade. A dor é inevitável. O sofrimento é opcional." (Carlos Drummond de Andrade)

 

DA FORMA COMO O TEU CORPO ME MOLDA QUANDO DORMES

"I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand and the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep and there are no words for that."

 

(Brian Andreas)

 

DO QUANTO ÉS INTOCÁVEL

“Que nenhuma estrela queime o teu perfil
Que nenhum deus se lembre do teu nome
Que nem o vento passe onde tu passas.”

(Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen)

DE QUANDO DIZES QUE ME AMAS

“You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains. You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines. You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows. This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too.”

 

(William Shakespeare)

DAS GALINHAS

“Na realidade, A Mulher Portuguesa é uma leoa que, por força das circunstâncias, sabe imitar a voz das galinhas, porque o rugir dela mete medo ao parceiro. Quando perdem a paciência, ou se cansam, cuidado. A Mulher portuguesa zangada não é o «Agarrem-me senão eu mato-o» dos homens: agarra mesmo, e mata mesmo.”

 

(Miguel Esteves Cardoso)

DA IDADE

(Dalai Lama)

DO QUE SOU

 “Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic.”

(Salvador Dali)

DE COMO AS COISAS SÃO

 “I guess we can't really complain about our karma. It's not an affair. It's not unexpected. It just... evens the score. And even when we're about to do something that we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass... Well, it goes without saying. We do it anyway."

 

(George O'Malley in Grey's Anatomy)

DAS GRANDES VERDADES

"Esquecer uma mulher inteligente custa um número incalculável de mulheres estúpidas."

(António Lobo Antunes)

DOS DISCURSOS QUE NOS TIRAM A RESPIRAÇÃO

 “Inside the hospital you're the man. That's the protocol, but outside I'm the man. I am the man. Me. Now you can call me cro magnon or old fashion, but that's not going to stop me from taking you home to my bed tonight and showing you what kind of man I am. Now how's that? Does that protocol suit you?”

 

(Grey’s Anatomy)

 

Agora ide lá estabelecer protocolos e bom fim-de-semana!

DE COMO SOU ERVA DANINHA

 “Ser flor é insustentável. Uma flor é uma mulher que sai do cabeleireiro e que em nome da beleza não se deixa tocar. Pelo contrário, uma erva daninha é aquela que nos agarra pelos colarinhos e nos dá um beijo de língua enquanto os cabelos se entrelaçam ao vento.”

DAS COISAS IMPOSSÍVEIS

(Agathon)

DA SABEDORIA DO UNIVERSO

“Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong.”

 

(Grey’s Anatomy)

DA RAÇA MASCULINA

 “You can tell a man 'I hate you' and get the best sex of your life. You tell him 'I love you' and you never gonna see him again in your life .”

 

(Samantha in ‘Sex and the City’)

 

DA MUDANÇA QUE QUEREMOS SER

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." 

(Apple Computer Inc.)

(Sex and the City)

 

DA MUDANÇA

"Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all. Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change."

(Kirsten Zambucka)

DE COMO NÂO VALE A PENA PENSAR MUITO NISSO

 “Just screw the odds, screw science. Let’s just live. Whatever happens. Happens.”

(Grey’s Anatomy)

DOS PLANOS

 “If you wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans.”

 

(Barney in ‘How I met your mother’)

 

DAS VONTADES DE MUDAR

"It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away."

(Kenichi Ohmae)

DE COMO PRECISO DE RIR

"My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe."

(Jimmy Durante)

DAS VERDADES UNIVERSAIS

"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."

(Marylin Monroe)

 

DO QUE PENSAMOS E DO QUE É

"Às vezes penso que o coração das pessoas é como um poço sem fundo. Ninguém sabe o que se encontra no seu interior. Não temos outro remédio senão dar largas à nossa imaginação a partir do que aparece, volta e meia, à tona."

 

(Haruki Murakami, in A Rapariga que inventou um Sonho)

DAQUELAS COISAS QUE SÃO SÓ PARA ENCHER CHOURIÇOS E PARA FAZER A VONTADE A TERCEIROS

 “I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.”

(Mae West)

DAS COISAS QUE NÃO QUEREMOS PERDER

 “Theresa: I thought about it. I thought about a lot of things sitting out here. And I can't stay.

Garrett: Why?

Theresa: Because if you can, you'll come to me... When it's right. And if it's not right, it's okay. Because I wouldn't regret one minute. Not one. Bye.

Garrett: I don't want to lose you.

Theresa: Then don't.”

 

(Message in a Bottle)

DAS COISAS QUE SÃO MAIS DO QUE PARECEM

 “And it’s not about the sex. It’s not…..about the sex. It’s about that moment afterward. When the world stops. Just feels… so safe. So safe.”

 

(Grey’s Anatomy)

DE COMO HOJE É UM DIA MAU

 “How can you ask me to take a leap off the cliff if all you do is watch from the edge”

 

(M. J. Glover)

DE COMO SOU

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

 

(Marilyn Monroe)

DE COMO QUERO FICAR CONFUSA

"Barney: I lied. When I said I lied that was a lie and I'm sorry.

Nora: I'me confused.

Barney: So am I. This... All of this... This is totally new to me but I know it's what I want. I want to be confused. With you."

 

(“How I met your mother”)

DE COMO ME PERCO

“From this point on, she whispered, we will either find or lose our souls.”

(Michael Ondaatje “The English Patient”)

DA CLASSE

"Guys booty call girls after two a.m. with a drunkenly slur 'whatssss you're doin?'. But when a lady booty calls a guy, she invents a respectable excuse to mask the fact that she wants to get stucked real good. It's called class, Ted."

 

(Robin in 'How I met your mother')

DO ESCREVER DIREITO POR LINHAS TORTAS

 “Addison: is that a doll house? 
Izzie: yeah the lights work and everything. 
Addison: oh did you have a doll house growing up? 
Izzie: I had sex last night. with the wrong person... but the thing is... it didnt feel wrong it felt like something was falling into place. 
Addison: what am I suddenly the go-to person for adultery? 
Izzie: No... i just dont know what to do. 
Addison: .... you stop. That’s what you do. 
Izzie: Are you sure?... Because I mean... what if it feels right because it’s in God's plan? 
Addison: ...God...wants you to be an adulterer? 
Izzie: GOD got a virgin pregnant by magic... GOD is not playing by the rules.”

 

(Anatomia de Grey)

DOS MOMENTOS

 “I met someone. It was an accident, I wasn’t looking for it, I wasn’t on the make. It was a perfect storm. She said one thing, I said another and the next thing I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Now there this feeling in my gut. She might be the one. She's completely nuts in a way that makes me smile, highly neurotic, a great deal of maintenance acquired. She is you Karen, that’s the good news. The bad news is that I don't know how to be with you right now, and that scares the shit out of me. Because if I am not with you right now I have this feeling we will get lost out there. It’s a big bad world full or twist and turns and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment. The moment that could have changed everything.”

 

(Californication)

DA INTIMIDADE

«Intimacy is a four syllable word for “Here is my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy.”»

(Grey’s Anatomy)

DAS RESISTÊNCIAS

"Resiste a uma tentação e tua alma adoecerá de desejo pelo que lhe foi vedado."
(Oscar Wilde)

DOS VENCEDORES

 “Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino play losers very well. But my audience like to be in there vicariously with a winner. That isn’t always popular with critics. My characters have sensitivity and vulnerabilities, but they’re still winners. I don’t pretend to understand losers. When I read a script about a loser I think of people in life who are losers and they seem to want it that way. It’s a compulsive philosophy with them. Winners tell themselves, I’m as bright as the next person. I can do it. Nothing can stop me.”

(Clint Eastwood, 1971)

DO ESTADO DE NERVOS EM QUE ME PÕES

"I can’t talk to you. You make me nervous. I forget what I.. and I say things I don’t want to say, and I.. I can’t. I just go stupid. I like you, that’s all, there."

(Grey's Anatomy)

DE COMO SE FAZEM AS COISAS BEM FEITAS

 “Abby: We had sex.
Hank: Don’t do that. Don’t reduce it. That was not sex. That was naked poetry. I mean, if we had let them hook up cables to our private parts, I bet we could’ve lit up the entire Sunset Strip.”

 

(Californication)

DAS COISAS QUE TU ME FAZES

 “If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.”

(Marilyn Monroe)

 

DO ESTADO DE SAÚDE

Adam: What? 
Emma: You make my heart skip a beat"

 

(“No strings attached”)

DAS COISAS QUE QUERO

Quero apenas cinco coisas..

 

Primeiro é o amor sem fim

A segunda é ver o outono

A terceira é o grave inverno

Em quarto lugar o verão

A quinta coisa são teus olhos

Não quero dormir sem teus olhos.

Não quero ser... sem que me olhes.

Abro mão da primavera para que continues me olhando.

 

(Pablo Neruda)

DO DIA

“Todas as cartas de amor são
Ridículas.
Não seriam cartas de amor se não fossem
Ridículas.

Também escrevi em meu tempo cartas de amor,
Como as outras,
Ridículas.

As cartas de amor, se há amor,
Têm de ser
Ridículas.

Mas, afinal,
Só as criaturas que nunca escreveram
Cartas de amor
É que são
Ridículas.”

(Álvaro de Campo)

Feliz Dia de São Valentim!

E agora vão lá escrever/dizer a alguém o quanto gostam dele/dela, tá?

 

DA ESPERANÇA

(Miss Daisy in Dias Im(perfeitos))

 

DOS CAMINHOS

"The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark."
(Barbara Hall)

DO FRACASSO

"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again.
Fail better."
(Samuel Beckett)

DAS SURPRESAS DA VIDA

(Boris Yellnikoff, in Whatever Works)

 

DAS SÚPLICAS

 “…peço-te; tira-me do tédio, tira-me do sério, vira o meu mundo do avesso mas faz-me sentir, desafia-me…”

(in Educação Irracional)

 

E depois disto, só me resta dizer: Bom fim-de-semana…
