“(...) o peso da dor nada tem que ver com a qualidade da dor. A dor é o que se sente. Nada mais. Desisto definitivamente de me iludir com a minha força de adulto sobre o peso de uma amargura infantil. Exactamente porque toda a vida que tive sempre se me representa investida da importância que em cada momento teve. Como se eu jamais tivesse envelhecido. Exactamente porque só é fútil e ingénua a infância dos outros - quando se não é já criança.”
― Vergílio Ferreira, Manhã Submersa
