Quotes About Virgilia

Observe now with what skill, with what art, I make the biggest transition in this book. Observe: my delirium began in the presence of Virgilia; Virigilia was the great sin of my youth; there is no youth without childhood; childhood presupposes birth; and so we arrive, effortlessly, at October 20, 1805, the date of my birth.
~ Machado de Assis
e porque a dor que se dissimula dói mais, é mui provável que Virgília padecesse em dobro do que realmente devia padecer. Creio que isto é metafísica.
~ Machado de Assis
