Sempre gostei de procurar livros, não quero saber onde estão, basta-me saber que existem.

Memory is like a curse. We fall into eternity, and memory is a weight that keeps pulling us to where we can never go back to.

Beyond the clouds, above people, beneath the skin, inside people, we’re waiting for you. We see you now, as you read. We’ll see you when you stop thinking about these words. Above and inside your face, we know your secrets. We know what you hide from yourself. You can’t escape us. We hold your heart in the palm of our hand. If we like, we can squeeze it. If we like, we can crush it. There’s nothing you can do to stop us. Our gaze notices your every single move and your every single word. Say a word now. Make a move. We smile at your words, as we smile at your silence. No one will be able to protect you. No one can protect you now. You’re even less than you imagine. We’ve seen a thousand generations of men like you. It was our pleasure to let them walk on the lines of our hands. It was our pleasure to take everything away from them. We guided entire generations of men through tunnels we built that led nowhere. And when they arrived at nothing, we smiled. You’re just like them. We’re waiting for you above and inside your face. Continue on your way. Follow that line of our hand. We know where that tunnel you walk through will end. Keep on walking. We see you and smile. Beyond the clouds, we are fear. Beneath the skin, we are fear.

I think: perhaps the sky is a huge sea of fresh water and we, instead of walking under it, walk on top of it; perhaps we see everything upside down and the earth is a kind of sky, so that when we die, when we die, we fall and sink into the sky.

Quando vires os teus olhos a verem-te, quando não souberes se tu és tu ou se o teu reflexo no espelho és tu, quando não conseguires distinguir-te de ti, olha para o fundo dessa pessoa que és e imagina o que aconteceria se todos soubessem aquilo que só tu sabes sobre ti.

Hoje, preciso de ti. Depois de nós, nesse tempo, houve uma verdade que ficou parada nos meus olhos: alguém de quem gostamos muito, o amor, ficará nas árvores, continuará a crescer, como uma criança, dentro dos troncos e dos ramos mais finos das árvores.
