    Afonso Cruz
    “A vida das pessoas acaba assim e Matilde nem sequer tem consciência de que morreu uma das suas mortes. De cada vez que deixamos de ser percebidos, morremos. Quando somos enterrados deixamos de ser percebidos por toda a gente, mas quando os outros já não olham para nós, ficaram condenados para um número limitado de pessoas, a uma morte em tudo idêntica à outra. A nossa morte não acontece quando somos enterrados, acontece continuamente: os dentes caem, os joelhos solidificam, a pele engelha-se, os amigos partem. Tudo isso é a morte. O momento final é apenas isso, um momento.”
    Afonso Cruz, Jesus Cristo Bebia Cerveja
