Attack on Memory

 

De Camus: a terna indiferença do mundo.

In the flat field.

Moulding shapes no shame to waste/ And drag me there with deafening haste.

Long Farewell

 

Our calm merged into desire and our desire into calm. We hardly noticed what was going on; as in a dream, one movement led to the next. We seldom touched one another and never kissed; our way of caressing was to lie side by side, breathing in and breathing out. I expressed my tenderness by talking a lot, Claire hers by listening to me and saying something from time to time.

 Peter Handke, Short Letter, Long Farewell, 1972. 

To Kill a Mockingbird

 

"O Atticus tinha razão. Certo dia disse que só conheceríamos realmente um homem quando calçássemos os seus sapatos e caminhássemos dentro deles. Para mim, estar na varanda dos Radleys foi o suficiente."

Harper Lee, Mataram a Cotovia, julho 1960.

Fallen Angels, 1995.

 

"Most people fall in love for the first time as teenagers. I guess I'm a late bloomer. Maybe I'm too picky. On May 30, 1995, I finally fell in love for the first time. It was raining that night. When I looked at her, I suddenly felt like I was a store. And she was me. Without any warning, she suddenly enters the store. I don't know how long she'll stay. The longer the better, of course."
