“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“O caminho também é um lugar.”
― José Luís Peixoto, O Caminho Imperfeito

“Chorar sem som é o apogeu da sinceridade. Quando se chora sem som, pensei eu na altura, é porque algo nos dói mesmo, já que o choro calado de fita nada tem, não procura ser visto.”
― Álvaro Curia, Filhos da Chuva
