TENTATIVA E ERRO


«Getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong. Maybe the best thing would be to forget being right or wrong about people and just go along for the ride. But if you can do that - well, lucky you.»

Philip Roth, American Pastoral (via Rui Passos Rocha, A Douta Ignorância)

floribundus disse...

no cais das colunas
mortos-vivos aqguardam a chegada da barca do inferno.
tal como em Mestre Gil os 'Anjos' prometem um futuro risonho
«a ribeira mui serena
que nenhum vento bolia»
