" Through countless births in the cycle of existence
I have run, not finding
although seeking the builder of this house;
and again and again I faced the suffering of new birth.

the ridgepole is shattered.
The mind has become freed from conditioning:
the end of craving has been reached."
— Siddhārtha Gautama (The Dhammapada)

"E se eu te dissesse que ele é um deus?

— Cormac McCarthy (The Road)
