Quotes by Patrícia Melo (?)

“There's nothing easier than learning to hate women. There is no shortage of teachers. Fathers teach it, the state teaches it, the legal system teaches it, the market teaches it, and culture, and propaganda.”
― Patrícia Melo, The Simple Art of Killing a Woman

“Até matar o primeiro cara a gente pensa que existe essa história de aprender a matar. Aprender a matar é como aprender a morrer, um dia você morre e pronto. Ninguém aprende a matar. Isso é conversa furada de tira. Todo mundo nasce sabendo. Se você tem uma arma na mão já sabe tudo.”
― Patrícia Melo, O Matador

“Realmente não dá para entender como é que um sujeito faz uma bobagem dessas. So há uma explicação: Destino. Antes da gente nascer, alguém, sei lá quem, talvez Deus, Deus define direitinho como é que vai foder a sua vida. É isso. Era minha teoria. Deus só pensa no homem quando tem que decidir como é que vai destruí-lo.”
― Patrícia Melo, O Matador
