Quotes by Viviane Forrester (?)

“Seria insensato esperar, enfim, não um pouco de amor, tão vago, tão fácil de declarar, tão satisfeito de si, e que se autoriza a fazer uso de todos os castigos, mas a audácia de um sentimento áspero, ingrato, de um rigor intratável e que se recusa a qualquer exceção: o respeito?”
― Viviane Forrester, El horror económico

“É isso que se diz "antes", quando ainda seria tempo de saber que uma unha ou um fio de cabelo tocados, um ultraje já podem constituir o início do pior. E que os crimes *contra* a humanidade são sempre *da* humanidade. Por *ela* perpetrados.”
― Viviane Forrester, L'horror econòmic
