Ho vissuto tanto senza aver vissuto! Ho pensato tanto senza aver pensato! Mondi di violenze immobili, di avventure trascorse senza movimento, pesano su di me. Sono stanco di ciò che non ho mai avuto e che non avrò, stanco di Dei che non esistono. Porto con me le ferite di tutte le battaglie che ho evitato. Il mio corpo è dolorante per lo sforzo che non ho nemmeno pensato di fare.

I want what I don't want and renounce what I don't have. I can't be nothing nor be everything: I'm the bridge between what I don't have and what I don't want.
~ Fernando Pessoa

O que eu quero deveras, com toda a intimidade da minha alma, é que cessem as nuvens átonas que ensaboam cinzentamente o céu; o que eu quero é ver o azul começar a surgir de entre elas, verdade certa e clara porque nada é nem quer.
