“cedo ou tarde, o oceano do tempo nos devolve as lembranças que enterramos nele.”

"Though everything eventually passes, except this very, this very very moment, and the next second we are in another moment and something else happens and everything else is gone, is past, is memory, is memory. But some of the memories… no, they never really go away. Nothing really goes away, it’s always here, and sometimes it takes over you, and it’s stronger than any reality around you, around me, now. That is… reality. That is real. That is really real, though it’s not here anymore, as they say, it’s not here anymore. But it’s here for me, it’s here and now." - Jonas Mekas, from “As I Was Moving Ahead I Occasionally Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty"

"Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave. And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be." - The Good Place

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope." - Jane Austen

"you know heartbreak so well, you remove all your bones so nothing can kill you." - Denice Frohman, once a marine biologist told me octopuses have three hearts

"i vow to love you in primal ways. / i vow to love you in infinite forms. / in our separateness and composites. / to dust and stars and the ever after." (joseph o. legaspi, vows)

"because the sunset, like survival, exists only on the verge of its own disappearing." (ocean vuong, on earth we're briefly gorgeous)

“If you were music, I would listen to you ceaselessly, and my low spirits would brighten up.” ― Anna Akhmatova

"tudo está em movimento e nada dura para sempre, por está razão não podemos entrar duas vezes no mesmo rio, isto porque quando entro pela segunda vez no rio, tanto eu quanto ele já estamos mudados"

"nossos sentidos nos dão uma percepção ilusória do que o mundo realmente é"

"quando vejo a lua, isso acontece porque os átomos da lua tocam os meus olhos"
