a mais obscura. 

- Eugénio de Andrade

O sorriso 

Creio que foi o sorriso, 

o sorriso foi quem abriu a porta. 

Era um sorriso com muita luz 

lá dentro, apetecia 

entrar nele, tirar a roupa, ficar 

nu dentro daquele sorriso. 

- Eugénio de Andrade

And boredom, ennui, depression

are long slow vibrations of pain

that possess the whole body

D. H. Lawrence

Conscience

is the fulfilment of nothingness.

- D.H. Lawrence

keep quiet, and wait.

- D.H. Lawrence

The moment the mind interferes with love, or the will fixes on it,

or the personality assumes it as an attribute, or the ego takes possession of it,

it is not love any more, it's just a mess.

- D.H. Lawrence

We, the mystic NOW.

- D.H. Lawrence

This ache for being is the ultimate hunger.

I cry and I cry wolf.

I hide and no one looks for me. 

- Luci Arbus-Scandiffio

In class, you learn 

that language is a spell, so you try your best to fall under it. 

Instead, you mispronounce Foucault.

a constant passion ravaging the body
