Her smell (2018)

I'm here for you. Thank you all for being here with me.


Cría cuervos (1976)

Ahora, sin embargo, también pienso que en el fondo mi madre tuvo siempre miedo de no ser tan maravillosa intérprete como le auguraban sus amistades, y prefirió la comodidad de una vida organizada y sin complicaciones.


Portrait of a lady on fire (2019)

Do all lovers feel they're inventing something? I know the gestures. I imagined it all, waiting for you.


Shirley (2020)

Hello! What a lovely skirt you have.
What a lovely insouciant tone you have.


Paris, Texas (1984)

I wanted to see him so bad that I didn't even dare imagine him anymore.


Relic (2020)

Well, why can't she move in with you?
Because that's not practical.


Little women (2019)

I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.

2020, livros



Um defeito de cor, Ana Maria Gonçalves

Eu achava que era só no Brasil que os pretos tinham que pedir dispensa do defeito de cor para serem padres, mas vi que não, que em África também era assim. Aliás, em África, defeituosos deviam ser os brancos, já que aquela era a nossa terra e éramos em maior número. O que pensei naquela hora, mas não disse, foi que me sentia muito mais gente, muito mais perfeita e vencedora que o padre. Não tenho defeito algum e, talvez para mim, ser preta foi e é uma grande qualidade, pois se fosse branca não teria me esforçado tanto para provar do que sou capaz, a vida não teria exigido tanto esforço e recompensado com tanto êxito.



Summer, Ali Smith 

I thought the Shakespeare play for the summertime was meant to be the one about the fairies. Midsummer dream, he says.
Oh, the fairies, she says. The Winter's Tale's all about summer, really. It's like it says, don't worry, another world is possible. When you're stuck in the world at its worst, that's important. To be able to say that. At least to tend towards comedy.



Seis mil anos de pão, Eduard H. Jacob 

Assim, além de outras funções, as pinturas tumulares dos egípcios eram um eficaz meio pictórico para preservar e comprovar magicamente a identidade do morto. [...]
Nessa representação, vemos, então, em primeiro lugar dois homens afadigados na tarefa de pisar a massa. Parecem dançar; provavelmente trabalhavam com um ritmo definido e usavam as longas varas que têm consigo para não escorregarem na massa, mas também para se apoiarem e poderem exercer uma força maior (séculos mais tarde Heródoto gracejava a propósito de "um povo que amassa o pão com os pés e a lama com as mãos").



A rainha do Ignoto, Emília Freitas

Irmãs de fé, irmãs no desterro, a soberana do Ignoto, a musa do Nevoeiro, vos faz saber que a sessão de hoje não é a sessão ordinária, adstrita às cerimônias da lei, é uma sessão livre, extraordinária, na qual ela deseja dizer algumas palavras a muitas de suas paladinas. Dentro de três dias, partiremos para os assaltos do bem, vamos guerrear a injustiça, proteger o fraco contra o forte, entrar nos cárceres para curar os enfermos, lançar-nos às ondas para salvar os náufragos e atirar-nos aos incêndios para lhes arrebatar as vítimas! Quem não estiver pronta a perder a vida pela fé jurada, pode assinar seu nome no livro da covardia.



Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mandel

I've been thinking lately about immortality. What it means to be remembered, what I want to be remembered for, certain questions concerning memory and fame. I love watching old movies. I watch the faces of long-dead actors on the screen, and I think about how they'll never truly die. I know that's a cliché but it happens to be true. Not just the famous ones who everyone knows, the Clark Gables, the Ava Gardners, but the bit players, the maid carrying the tray, the butler, the cowboys in the bar, the third girl from the left in the nightclub. They're all immortal to me. First we only want to be seen, but once we're seen, that's not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.

fun home, alison bechdel

thursday 21 february
bizarre letter from mom today. one tantalizing sentence stands out: 'i still hurt from old wounds. i have had to deal with this problem in another form that almost resulted in catastrophe. do you know what i am talking about?'
NO! i don't! what the hell is going on?



fingersmith, sarah waters

everything, i said to myself, is changed. i think i was dead, before. now she has touched the life of me, the quick of me; she has put back my flesh and opened me up. everything is changed. i still feel her, inside me. i still feel her, moving upon me. i imagine her walking, meeting my gaze. i think, "i will tell her, then. i will say 'i meant to cheat you. i cannot cheat you now'."



ham on rye, charles bukowski

what a weary time those years were - to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability.







haunted, chuck palahniuk

people fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. the same as the stories they tell. we trap ourselves. some stories you tell them and you use them up, other stories...





when you are engulfed in flames, david sedaris

it was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shaky ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape.

e todos os outros.
