"They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force - nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others. "

- can't believe it!
- you don't say! is that stale bread again?
- yep!
- geeeee, who does she think we are?
- somebody should have a talk with this Ms G!
- we birds like it fresh! fresh patisserie that is!
- call your cousin the eagle, we'll set up a task force
- pity it has to come to this; is she not familiar with Hitchcock? has she not seen 'the birds'?
- by the way, your uncle was great in that one
- great-uncle! I am not that old, you see; just turned 31.

"Para terminar, um raciocínio de Mestre de Rose: 'O sexo estimula o hemisfério direito do cérebro e com isso gera um comportamento criativo, agressivo e questionador. A castração da sexualidade facilita aos soberanos manipular a população. Por isso, todas as propostas de massa, tais como política e religião, pregam a castração. Um touro você não consegue obrigar a que puxe o carro de bois. Mas um boi, castrado, esse se submete.'"

Yeats
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity [...]"

at 31 degrees - not a little cold, but for the spine
33 is many a wise man's warning
- tasks to be accomplished, ends to be met -
aim at 45 angles for maximum length
stick to being 90, for rectitude
go sometimes for the 180, ask for no detail
one should be at least 270,
then circle 360 again
and reach body temperature at 36

Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you.
[...]

and 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate.
14 16 22 - this skin that turns to blister blue.
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees".

O grande bicho está de volta.
Ainda não o vi mas já o sinto lá.
Veio reforçado, depois de 6 meses à coca.
Agora tem dezenas de canais. Incluindo uns que não devia ter.
E espera-me, salivando, de palito entre os dentes.

dANCE
- Corpos que cortam o ar como tesouras, sons de areia de televisão.
Círculos corridos, rápidos, viragens sobre si próprios.
Vestidos amarelos, cabelos que deviam ser amarelos.
- Colunas de som, guarda-roupa romano, círculos de gente que salta para trás, rotinas escondidas por detrás de mil movimentos. Dizem-nos que está ali a Paixão e a Fé.
- Pares que dançam como autómatos, com mecânicas complexas e repetidas, como bonecos de relógio do século XVIII - como a música, que pausam descansando na testa um do outro.
Bailarinos que se acompanham recitando uma história, a dança é agora de trejeitos e palavras e um registo fiel da oralidade.
Corpos inanimados trazidos de volta a uma vida improvável e magnífica, por um puppetmaster que é um Atlas vagabundo.
Do lado de cá, a busca irreprimível de significado, de conteúdo escondido por detrás da forma.
A forma é o conteúdo; a forma é o que se dá, a forma é o que está dentro do pacote?
O conteúdo é a forma, o significado é o movimento?
Imprime-se um parágrafo que resume os pensamentos do coreógrafo acerca da peça.
Será realmente um sumário ou o máximo que se pode espremer, para preencher linhas no programa, justificar detalhes, combater o espaço - se o há - na mente do espectador?
O outro espaço, no palco, está preenchido.
Não sei se chega mas sei que às vezes chega; chega para nos reconciliar com a vida.

Il a l'âme religieuse, pourtant. C'est cela qui nous séparait. Je suis plus âpre que lui, je le sais bien. Pour nous que ne croyons pas à Dieu, il faut toute la justice ou c'est le désespoir.
Dora
Pour lui, la justice elle-même est désespérante.

Oui, une âme faible […]"

Filmes franceses
Não recordo títulos ou detalhes, permaneceram apenas ideias, do pior e do melhor a encontrar, com menções ao mesmo tema.
Filme A
Amo-te.
Mas o que significa dizer "amo-te" quando tenho neste momento merde nas minhas entranhas?
Filme B
Uma reunião em casa de amigos. Os convivas sentam-se relaxadamente em torno da mesa, em sanitas.
Um levanta-se, compondo a roupa, e procura uma casa de banho.
Abre a porta, surpreende outro, que come uma sanduíche no recato. Partilham desculpas e um enorme constrangimento, por esse momento de vergonha posto a descoberto.

Lógico, pensei eu.

Apocalypse Now
"We'd left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't say.
We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile, a pile of little arms, and I remember, I...I...I cried, I wept like some grandmother.
I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do.
And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget.
And then I realized like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond, a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, 'My God, the genius of that. The genius.
The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure!
And then I realized they were stronger than me because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men -- trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts who have families, who have children, who are filled with love - that they had the strength, the strength to do that.
If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill - without feeling, without passion, without judgment - without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us."

The bird-something-frog
Today I saw a man
talking to a food cart.
That's dinde, I then thought,
and quickly decided to rephrase it:
that's dingue, I should rather say.
Now I am flying like a bird (which is just fine since I am one),
searching with my good eye closed
for a nice place to rest,
grab a bite, a pint, relax…
I do feel like something special…
Hey, is that a chocolate over there?
Refuelling at Christelleville! No bird flu there, mate!
You know, love is a thing with feathers
and life but a collection of stolen goods.

Officials
A man in a hot air balloon over the Belgian countryside realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below.
Descending a bit more he shouted, "Excuse me, can you help? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am".
The woman replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above the ground, between 49/50 degrees latitude, north and 4/5 degrees east, longitude."
"You must be a middle-grade Commission Official", said the balloonist.
"I am", replied the woman, "I'm a Grade A*8. How did you know?"
"Well", answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct but I have no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I am still lost.
Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you have delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be a Senior Commission Official".
"I am," replied the balloonist, "But how did you know?"
"Well," replied the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problem.
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault".

Pecado original
O infantário é um direito do trabalhador.
O Estado chama a si a educação pré-escolar.
Os professores têm de educar as crianças.
À escola cabe dar formação básica, complementar e acessória.
A televisão cumprirá o dever de entreter em tom formativo.
A sociedade ocupar-se-á dos tempos livres dos seus.
As empresas pagarão pelos estágios e inserção.
Com tempo e alguma sorte, o grande contributo dos pais poderá resumir-se a partilhar uma cama.

Good night and good luck
Somewhat blunt and too much in-your-face sometimes (also literally speaking, image wise) but I quite liked the dialogues, or should I say, the speeches; but that's me, I do seem to have a soft heart for real politics.
