Gandalf

Frodo: "It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance!"

Gandalf: "Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise can not see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or evil before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."

Frodo: "I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."

Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."

Insanity

"They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Treze de Outubro

"escrever um poema sem calor em são paulo
um poema sem ação: sem carros, sem avenida paulista

quando eu morava na augusta, escrevia poemas sobre a augusta
a augusta não me deixava dormir

(escrever um poema em que se durma na augusta
e sobretudo, escrever um poema sobre dormir

sem você.) esta é a primavera fajuta da delicadeza
(não consigo terminar este poema)."

Estella II

"Though she had taken such strong possession of me, though my fancy and my hope were so set upon her, though her influence on my boyish life and character had been all-powerful, I did not, even that romantic morning, invest her with any attributes save those she possessed. I mention this in this place, of a fixed purpose, because it is the clue by which I am to be followed into my poor labyrinth.

"According to my experience, the conventional notion of a lover cannot be always true. The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible.

"Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I loved her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection."

from Great Expectation, Charles Dickens

Martini

‎"I like to have a martini,
two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under my host."
