View from Room

'I excuse you from having to appear in my idea of you. '

'A deserted street is not one along which no one walks, but a street along which people walk as if it were deserted.'

'Freedom is the possibility of isolation.'

'The generation to which i belong was born into a world devoid of certainty for anyone possessed of both an intellect and a heart.'

'If the heart could think it would stop beating.'

And the last thought:

'Sometimes i think i will never leave Rua dos Duradores. Once written down, that seems to me like eternity.'

'Livro do desassossego'
Bernardo Soares
