    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

    “Rosa nunca se sente única. Isso nunca lhe acontece na vida. Todos os seus momentos são minimizados com um "isso também já me aconteceu". A vida de Rosa é partilhada por todos e não tem nada de único. Todos os seres humanos são únicos, menos Rosa. Ela pertence a todos, como o pão da missa que se divide pela humanidade.”
