Maya Angelou
“Let's tell the truth to people. When people ask, 'How are you?' have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know, however, that people will start avoiding you because, they, too, have knees that pain them and heads that hurt and they don't want to know about yours. But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you.”
Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter

Arundhati Roy
“When you hurt people, they begin to love you less. That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”
Arundhati Roy

Mia Couto
“Quem viveu pregado a um só chão não sabe sonhar outros lugares.”
Mia Couto, Jesusalém

Manoel de Barros
“A poesia está guadarda nas palavras - é tudo que
eu sei.
Meu fado é o de não saber quase tudo.
Sobre o nada eu tenho profundidades.
Não tenho conexões com a reladidade.
Poderoso para mim não é aquele que descobre ouro.
Para mim poderoso é aquele que descobre as
insignificâncias (do mundo e as nossa).
Por essa pequena sentença me elogiaram de imbecil.
Fiquei emocionado.
Sou fraco para elogios.”
Manoel de Barros, Tratado Geral das Grandezas do Ínfimo

Mia Couto
“Ideas, we all know, are not born in people's heads. They begin somewhere out there, loose wisps of smoke swirling directionless in their search for a befitting mind.”
Mia Couto
