Para reflectir

“Because children grow up, we think a child’s purpose is to grow up. But a child’s purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn’t disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don’t value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life’s bounty is in its flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it’s been sung? The dance when it’s been danced? It’s only we humans who want to own the future, too. We persuade ourselves that the universe is modestly employed in unfolding our destination. We note the haphazard chaos of history by the day, by the hour, but there is something wrong with the picture. Where is the unity, the meaning, of nature’s highest creation? Surely those millions of little streams of accident and wilfulness have their correction in the vast underground river which, without a doubt, is carrying us to the place where we’re expected! But there is no such place, that’s why it’s called utopia. The death of a child has no more meaning than the death of armies, of nations. Was the child happy while he lived? That is a proper question, the only question. If we can’t arrange our own happiness, it’s a conceit beyond vulgarity to arrange the happiness of those who come after us.”
— Tom Stoppard (The Coast of Utopia)

Gilda Radner

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."

Salvador Dali

“The only difference between me and a madman is that I’m not mad”

Citações...

"Nunca são as coisas mais simples que aparecem quando as esperamos.

O que é mais simples, como o amor, ou o mais evidente dos sorrisos, não se encontra no curso previsível da vida. Porém, se nos distraímos do calendário, ou se o acaso dos passos nos empurrou para fora do caminho habitual, então as coisas são outras.
Nada do que se espera transforma o que somos se não for isso: um desvio no olhar; ou a mão que se demora no teu ombro, forçando uma aproximação dos lábios."

Nuno Júdice in Poesias Reunidas

Pensamentos..

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mistery, and today is a gift, that’s why it’s called Present!”

Memories..

“Regressamos sempre aos velhos lugares onde amámos a vida. E só então compreendemos que não voltarão jamais todas as coisas que nos foram queridas. O amor é simples, e o tempo devora as coisas simples.”

José Eduardo Agualusa.
