« All quotes from this author
 

Homem é…uma errata pensante, isso sim. Cada estaç?o da vida é uma ediç?o, que corrige a anterior, e que será corrigida também, até a ediç?o definitiva, que o editor da de graça aos vermes.
--
Man is...a thinking erratum, that's what he is. Every season of life is an edition that corrects the one before and which will also be corrected itself until the definitive edition, which the publisher gives to the worms gratis.
--
Ch. 27, p. 57.

And whenever I saw Luis, Graça's husband, I dealt with him with a friendship that was quite genuine, since it was offered out of gratitude for Graça's love.

La beauté sera CONVULSIVE ou ne sera pas.

 
Andre Breton
 

As man does not live in a solitary state, habits and feeling develop within him which are useful for the preservation of society and the propagation of the race. Without social feelings and usages life in common would have been absolutely impossible. It is not law which has established them; they are anterior to all law. Neither is it religion which has ordained them; they are anterior to all religions. They are found amongst all animals living in society. They are spontaneously developed by the new nature of things, like those habits in animals which men call instinct. They spring from a process of evolution, which is useful, and, indeed, necessary, to keep society together in the struggle it is forced to maintain for existence.

O amor espiritualiza o homem – e materializa a mulher.

Pete just gives me lyrics and phrases and sentences and ideas that are just kind of disembodies from any song, ... I'm his word editor and he's my music editor.
