You can be remade
You can live again
What was pain now's gained
- Bon Iver
As palavras te governam e te configuram
delimitam as fronteiras de tua solidão
os caminhos da eternidade e do adeus.
As palavras assinalam o momento de tua morte
e te ensinam a abrir a porta onde não existe porta.
- Francisco Carvalho
Ele é ignorante porque, apesar de se achar muito experto, reduziu toda a visão de mundo em cima de ganhar dinheiro.
- Luiz Felipe Pondé sobre Ebenezer Scrooge em Linhas Cruzadas
Uma das características da experiência triste, ou das paixões tristes, como se fala em filosofia, é o fato de que muitas pessoas não são tristes. Isso é uma das coisas que deixa as pessoas tristes mais tristes.
- Luiz Felipe Pondé em Linhas Cruzadas
When you give so much of yourself to your partner, you hope it's enough. But I realize it doesn't matter how much I love him, even after these countless years. It only matters whether or not you save him.
- Emma em Earth Abides, S01E04
We never truly walk alone even when we feel alone, despite grief.
- Tyler in Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry, S01E13
Mystery, or unkowing, is energy. As soon as a mystery is explained, it ceases to be a source of energy. If we question deep enough there comes a point where answers, if answers could be given, would kill. We may want to dam the river; but we dam the spring at our own peril. In fact, since 'God' is unknowable, we cannot dam the spring of basic existencial mystery. 'God' is the energy of all questions and questing; and so the ultimate source of all action and volution.
- John Fowles in The Aristos
How many times does a man wait for another man
Who won't come? Three times,
Or four. Then he leaves,
Crosses a field of summer thorns,
And lies in his home.
His heart didn't grow hard, like the soles
Of his feet that walked a lot.
Taxis of dawn tear
The clothes of his sleep:
To live is to tear;
To die, to be torn.
- Yehuda Amichai
If God is real, and he watches when we masturbate, and he has such a fragile ego that he only helps us when we beg him and shower him with praise, and he hates gay people for being what he made them to be, well, that is terrifying.
- Mr. Reed in Heretic, 2024
Even if you can't
make of your life what you want,
try this at least
to the extent that you can.
Do not devalue your life
by being too much in touch with society
too much to-and-fro and chat.
Do not devalue your life by escorting it,
turning it constantly about and exposing it
to the every day nonsense
of relationships and parties,
until it turns foreign, a burden.
- Constantine P. Cavafy
Ignorance
Philip Larkin
Strange to know nothing, never to be sure
Of what is true or right or real,
But force to qualify or so I feel,
Or Well, it does seem so:
Someone must know.
Strange to be ignorant of the way things work:
Their skill at finding what they need,
Their sense of shape, and the punctual spread of seed,
And willingness to change;
Yes, it is strange,
Even to wear such knowledge - for our flesh
Surrounds us with its own decisions -
And yet spend all our life on imprecisions,
That when we star to die
Have no idea why.
We are so much more than what we are going through
- Tyler Henry in Life from the other side with Tyler Henry, S01E09
You are scared because you have nothing to serve, no purpose, nowhere to put all that hurt and anger. You know how truly alone you are.
- Reverend Mother Dorothea in Dune: Prophecy, S01E03
Walls
Constantine P. Cavafy
With no consideration, no pity, no shame,
they have built walls around me, thick and high.
And now I sit here feeling hopeless.
I can't think of anything else: this fate gnaws my mind
because I had so much to do outside.
When they were building the walls, how could I not
have noticed!
But I never heard the builders, not a sound.
Imperceptibly, they have closed me off from the
outside world.
