“voar é uma coisa simples comparando com Blimunda”

“It is the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it, even with the best right, but without being OBLIGED to do so, proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring beyond measure. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life in itself already brings with it; not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes isolated, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing such a one comes to grief, it is so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it, nor sympathize with it. And he cannot any longer go back! He cannot even go back again to the sympathy of men!”

“Le bon sens est la chose du monde la mieux partagée : car chacun pense en être si bien pourvu, que ceux même qui sont les plus difficiles à contenter en toute autre chose, n'ont point coutume d'en désirer plus qu'ils en ont.”

“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.”

“São trabalhos já ditos, que mais facilmente se recapitulam por serem de bruta força, porém, é causa da sua reiteração não consentir que esqueçamos o que, por tão comum é de tão mínima arte, se costumam olhar sem mais consideração que distraidamente vermos os nossos próprios dedos escrevendo, assim de um modo e outro ficando oculto aquele que faz sob aquilo que é feito.”
