Possible
'Is it possible really to love other people?
If I'm lonely and in pain, everyone outside is potential relief - I need them.
But can you really love what you need so badly? Isn't a big part of love caring more about what the other person needs?
How am I supposed to subordinate my own overwhelming need to somebody else's needs that I can't even feel directly?
And yet if I can't do this, I'm damned to loneliness, which I definitely don't want... so I'm back at trying to overcome my selfishness for self-interested reasons.
Is there any way out of this bind?'
Dostoevsky

About Dostoevsky
'...the unbelievably repellent Smerdyakov, that living engine of slimy resentment in whom I personally see parts of myself I can barely stand to look at [...]
His [Dostoevsky's] concern was always what it is to be a human being - that is, how to be an actual person, someone whose life is informed by values and principles, instead of just an especially shrewd kind of self-preserving animal'.

Não queres mas levas na mesma
Follow up on the comment of Pacheco vs Coelho
A quote from Reagan - on the debate with Mondale in 1984 - came to mind:
"I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience" (resposta, diga-se em verdade, a acharem que ele era demasiado velho para voltar a ser presidente).
Ou seja, Reagan disse: 'Não farei, mas já fica dito'; e Pacheco disse: 'Não queres que se fale, mas falo eu na mesma'.

Não vi, mas a foto descreve algo que esteve na minha cabeça durante anos e que queria ter sido capaz de exprimir de forma muito parecida.

É verdade, o tio Pacheco esteve bem.
Especialmente o penteado, claro (mas também, alguém imagina o Paulo Futre a conseguir jogar sem cabelo ? Ou o Fernando Couto ? Ou o Bento ?)

Been there
Passamos a vida a encontrar e reencontrar clichés; a ouvi-los pela primeira vez depois de mil vezes ditos; pior, a reescrevê-los, uma e outra vez.
