Raduan Nassar
“(...) é um fato corriqueiro, querida Ana, pelo qual sempre passamos feito sonâmbulos, mas que, silencioso, é ainda o maior e o mais antigo escândalo: a vida só se organiza se desmentindo, o que é bom para uns é muitas vezes a morte para outros, sendo que só os tolos, entre os que foram atirados com displicência ao fundo, tomam de empréstimo aos que estão por cima a régua que estes usam para medir o mundo.”
Raduan Nassar, Lavoura arcaica

Richard Siken

Richard Siken, Crush

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”
Mary Oliver

Caio Fernando Abreu

Caio Fernando Abreu, Os Dragões não Conhecem o Paraíso

T.S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets
