Quotes by Tânia Ganho (?)

“A arte de sobreviver não passa pelo esquecimento; consiste em aprender a viver com o que magoa e, aos poucos, ir desmontando a dor e separando os seus componentes como quem desarmadilha pacientemente uma bomba. Um dia, sobrarão apenas as peças, arquivadas em caixas.”
― Tânia Ganho, Apneia

“Pensava que, com o tempo, o ódio esmorecesse e o amor - o amor a um filho - acabasse por prevalecer. Não fazia ideia de que o ódio era um monstro auto-suficiente.”
