“He, who had wandered all his life unseen, so little known, so often feeling alone and unloved - I wanted him, his departing spirit, to know that we were with him, that we accompanied him, filled with love, to the gate. There is not more, as humans, that we can do.”

“Eu vou embora, mas não vou passar fome, não vou ser miserável, não vou para o inferno. Sabe por que, titia? Porque não é você que decide isso. Porque Deus não gosta mais de você do que de mim. Implore por minha desgraça, reze todos os terços pra Deus me levar pro inferno, e, ainda assim, as minhas chances de conhecer o paraíso são iguais às suas.”
― Carla Madeira, Tudo é Rio
