[wordalistic]

Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.

- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

[wordalistic]

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head'll collapse and there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Way out in the water, see it swimming

- Pixies

[wordalistic]

Awake Shake dreams from your hair My pretty child, my sweet one Choose the day and choose the sign of your day The day's divinity First thing you see

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon Couples naked race down by its quiet side And we laugh like soft, mad children Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy The music and voices are all around us

Choose they croon the ancient ones The time has come again Choose now, they croon Beneath the moon Beside an ancient lake

Enter again the sweet forest Enter the hot dream Come with us Everything is broken up and dances

- Jim Morrison

[wordalistic]

Peel all of your layers off

I want to eat your artichoke heart

- Thom Yorke

Segundo capítulo

Viagem: todo o movimento de aproximação de uma pessoa a outra. Movimentos de fuga não são viagens.

- José Eduardo Agualusa, A Vida No Céu

[wordalistic]

Voar: esforço de desmemória que consiste em extrair da mente todo o peso do real.

- José Eduardo Agualusa, A Vida No Céu

[wordalistic]

Terceiro capítulo

Noite: o vazio que há entre as estrelas. A solidão pode ser também uma representação da noite --- digamos, o vazio que há entre as pessoas.

- José Eduardo Agualusa, A Vida No Céu

[wordalistic]

When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

– William Butler Yeats

[wordalistic]

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption songs

- Bob Marley

[wordalistic]

Expiring for love is beautiful but stupid.

- Jenny Holzer

[wordalistic]

Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow

I think I might be sinking

- Led Zeppelin

[wordalistic]

The sea was red and the sky was grey

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

- Led Zeppelin

[wordalistic]

I’d be crazy not to follow follow where you lead

- Radiohead

[wordalistic]

Ai eu já pensei mandar pintar o céu

Em tons de azul, pra ser original

Só depois notei que azul já ele é

Houve alguém que teve ideia igual

Eu não sei se hei-de fugir

Ou morder o anzol

Já não há nada de novo aqui

Debaixo do sol

Já me persegui por becos e ruelas

De horror, caminhos sem saída

Até que me perdi sozinha sem saber

De que cor vou pintar a minha vida

Eu não sei se hei-de fugir

Ou morder o anzol

Já não há nada de novo aqui

Debaixo do sol

- Rádio Macau

[wordalistic]

If you go I will surely die

- Pixies

[wordalistic]

Quero ler-te Lentamente Verso a verso Como se fosses poesia

Quero sentir-te Lentamente Gota a gota Como se fosses maresia

Respirares-me Boca a boca Lentamente

Como eu queria.

- José Gabriel Duarte, Como eu queria

[wordalistic]

there is a place in the heart that will never be filled

a space

and even during the best moments and the greatest times

we will know it

we will know it more than ever

there is a place in the heart that will never be filled and

we will wait and wait

in that space.

- Charles Bukowski, no help for that
