"Those eyes of yours are like deep, dark hooks for the souls."
('The Tudors')
“El erotismo es un juego privado en el que sólo el yo y los fantasmas y los jugadores pueden participar, y cuyo éxito depende de su carácter secreto, impermeable a la curiosidad pública.”
(Mario Vargas Llosa)
“Soneto de Separação
DE REPENTE do riso fêz-se o pranto
silencioso e branco como a bruma
E das bocas unidas fêz-se espuma
E das mãos espalmadas fêz-se o espanto.
De repente da calma fêz-se o vento
Que dos olhos desfez a última chama
E da paixão fêz-se o pressentimento
E do momento imóvel fêz-se o drama.
De repente, não mais que de repente
Fêz-se de triste o que se fêz amante
E de sozinho o que se fêz contente.
Fêz-se do amigo próximo o distante
Fêz-se da vida uma aventura errante
De repente, não mais que de repente.”
(Vinicius de Moraes, in 'O Operário em Construção')
"If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
(Provérbio Africano)
"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true."
(Meredith Grey in Grey's Anatomy)
“aqui em casa não é poupar. Estive a ler as dicas para economizar e já fazemos quase tudo:
- Lâmpadas económicas.
- Sistema de boleias para o trabalho.
- Fazer comida em casa e levar a marmita para o emprego.
- Desligar carregadores e pilotos.
- Usar os horários económicos para fazer máquinas de roupa e louça.
- Poupar na água, tomando duche, dando banhos a dois aos putos, etc.
Para os radicais (e já li isto muitas vezes), era isto que as pessoas deviam fazer:
- Acabar com a Net e desligar-se definitivamente do mundo (só não percebe que a Net neste momento não é um luxo quem não quer).
- Desligar Meos, Zons e vender as televisões, leitores de DVD´s e frigoríficos (podemos voltar às salgadeiras).
- Comer uma vez por dia (sopa de batata), deixar de beber, de fumar e de comprar preservativos.
- Comprar o essencial da alimentação, arroz e massa. Acabar com o peixe e a carne que são caros e nos legumes e nas frutas que são acessórios.
- Passar a fazer quilómetros a pé em vez de usar o carro. Ou então esperar duas horas pelos transportes públicos inexistentes nesta cidade.
- Last but the not the least: atirar-se de uma ponte abaixo e já morto, nadar para a superfície, abrir uma cova e atirar-se logo lá para dentro, para poupar recursos públicos da investigação do desaparecimento, do resgate do corpo e do transporte para a morgue e, logo depois, para o cemitério”
(Luz em Aldeia da Luz)
“…tell me did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there…”
(Train – Drops of Jupiter)
“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying”.
(Meredith Grey in Anatomia de Grey)
"If women ran the world we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.”

"Confusão é o nome que inventamos para uma ordem que não compreendemos."

“O mal de quase todos nós é que preferimos ser arruinados pelo elogio a ser salvos pela crítica.”
(Norman Vincent)
“I quite agree with you. And the moral of that is: Be what you would seem to be, or if you'd like it put more simply: Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.”
(Duchess in Alice in Wonderland)
“Don 't hurry. Don't worry. You're only here for a short visit. So don't forget to stop and smell the roses.”

“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”

“But I would rather my heart be broken than unopened and I know one must ask if one is to receive.”

"Há duas tragédias na vida: uma a de não satisfazermos os nossos desejos, a outra a de os satisfazermos."

Viver!
E não ter a vergonha de ser feliz
cantar e cantar e cantar
A beleza de ser um eterno aprendiz...
Ah meu Deus! Eu sei, eu sei
Que a vida devia ser bem melhor e será
Mas isso não impede que eu repita
É bonita, é bonita e é bonita...
“He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth”
(Thinking of you – Katy Perry)
“You’re like an indian Summer in the middle of Winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center”
(Thinking of you – Katy Perry)
“Here’s the truth about the truth: it hurts. So… We lie.”
(Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy)
“Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever want to live without you. You changed my life.' Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it, but every now and then, look around; Drink it in 'cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow."
(Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy)
“The ties that bind us are sometimes impossible to explain. They connect us even after it seems that the ties should be broken. Some bonds defy distance and time and logic… Because some ties are simply meant to be.”
(Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy)
“Reality is so much more interesting than living happily ever after.”
(Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy)
“When the Gods want to punish you they answer your prayers.”

(Sensibilidade e Bom Senso)
"Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who don't know what they want."
(Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy)

(Possessão)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
