Acontece
Tornou-se uma pessoa cheia de vícios e pequenos hábitos, pequenina, limitada.
Nem cresceu, nem tão pouco amadureceu; simples, complicada e amargamente, foi-se deixando envelhecer.

The fiction of dreams
"- You share one thing certainly with philosophers, and that is a fascination with perplexity, with paradox.
[Jorge Luis Borges] - Oh yes, of course - well I suppose philosophy springs from our perplexity [...]
- But philosophers seem not content ever to merely be confronted with perplexity, they want answers, systems.
- Well, they’re right.
- They’re right?
- Well, perhaps no systems are attainable, but the search for a system is very interesting.
- Would you call your work a search for a system?
- No, I wouldn’t be as ambitious as all that. I would call it, well, not science fiction, but rather the fiction of philosophy, or the fiction of dreams".

Qual é a tua identidade ?
Isso lembra-me uma cena que adoro do "Sexo, mentiras e vídeo":

Isso era dantes
"In the old days," said the third man, with sudden irrelevance, "they would have used pure psychology. Painless, you know, but very sure. No chance of deceit."
"Well, there is a good deal they had in the old days," said Forell, dryly. "These are the new days."

Boulangerie du Monde
If I had a Café-Bakery, there would be notepads in each table and each little sheet would bear this heading (over the discreet watermark "Boulangerie du Monde"):
"It is a known fact that some of the best ideas in the world were born here:".
