“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“When I was a child, adults would tell me not to make things up, warning me of what would happen if I did. As far as I can tell so far, it seems to involve lots of foreign travel and not having to get up too early in the morning.”
― Neil Gaiman, Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions

“If someone called me chubby, it would no longer be something that kept me up late at night. Being called fat is not like being called stupid or unfunny, which is the worst thing you could ever say to me. Do I envy Jennifer Hudson for being able to lose all that weight and look smokin’ hot? Of course, yes. Do I sometimes look at Gisele Bundchen and wonder how awesome life would be if I never had to wear Spanx? Duh, of course. That’s kind of the point of Gisele Bundchen. And maybe I will, once or twice, for a very short period of time. But on the list of things I want to do in my lifetime, that’s not near the top. I mean, it’s not near the bottom either. I’d say it’s right above “Learn to drive a vespa,” but several notches below “film a chase scene for a movie.”

“Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.”
― Ray Bradbury

“O não ouvir é a tendência a permanecer num lugar cômodo e confortável daquele que se intitula poder falar sobre os Outros, enquanto esses Outros permanecem silenciados.”
― Djamila Ribeiro, O Que é Lugar de Fala?

“Se eu gosto de ler? Essa provavelmente é a coisa que mais amo fazer! Sério, eu posso passar o dia todo só lendo, até esqueço que existe um mundo fora das páginas.”
― Solaine Chioro, A Rosa de Isabela

“A vida é o que a gente faz dela, o que pode ser um milhão de coisas diferentes. Se você tira todas as pequenas jornadas que te levam até o destino final, você tá tirando todo o motivo daquela trajetória existir pra começo de conversa. São os desvios no caminho que fazem você ser quem é. E tudo isso é a vida.”
― Solaine Chioro, Reticências

“As reticências tinham conquistado um poder imenso em sua vida. Eram aqueles pontos, piscando e piscando e piscando durante longas conversas, que o faziam sorrir ao esperar por novas mensagens.”
― Solaine Chioro, Reticências
