"O homem nunca pode parar de sonhar. O sonho é o alimento da alma, como a comida é o alimento do corpo. Muitas vezes, em nossa existência, vemos nossos sonhos desfeitos e nossos desejos frustrados, mas é preciso continuar sonhando, senão nossa alma morre."

• O Diário de um Mago

"O Bom Combate é aquele que é travado em nome de nossos sonhos. Quando eles explodem em nós com todo o seu vigor – na juventude – nós temos muita coragem, mas ainda não aprendemos a lutar. Depois de muito esforço, terminamos aprendendo a lutar, e então já não temos a mesma coragem para combater. Por causa disto, nos voltamos contra nós e combatemos a nós mesmos, e passamos a ser nosso pior inimigo. Dizemos que nossos sonhos eram infantis, difíceis de realizar, ou fruto de nosso desconhecimento das realidades da vida. Matamos nossos sonhos porque temos medo de combater o Bom Combate."

“Quando se viaja em direção a um objetivo, é muito importante prestar atenção no caminho. O caminho é que sempre nos ensina a melhor maneira de chegar, e nos enriquece, enquanto o estamos cruzando. Comparando isto com uma relação sexual, eu diria que são as carícias preliminares que determinam a intensidade do orgasmo. Qualquer pessoa sabe disto."

"There's this family in Italy who never slept. They suffered from a genetic disease that kept them awake for months, until their bodies just shut down. Even after all these years, scientists still don't really know why we sleep. We just know we have to sleep. Because without it, we make poor decisions, we say things we shouldn't. And sometimes we see things that aren't there. Your body hurts, your brain becomes foggy, and you feel like you're trapped in a tunnel... when all you want is your bed. So... how do you keep going? How do you not just sit down and give up? Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone... someone good. Whatever you need... to keep you going."

• Meredith Grey

"Não consigo me lembrar de uma só coisa que eu tenha visto em primeira mão que não ligasse imediatamente a um filme ou programa de TV. Um maldito comercial. Você conhece o medonho trinado do blasé: Jááá vi. Eu literalmente já vi tudo, e o pior, o que faz com que eu queira explodir meus miolos, é: a experiência de segunda mão é sempre melhor. A imagem é mais nítida, a visão é mais intensa, o ângulo da câmera e a trilha sonora manipulam minhas emoções de uma forma que a realidade já não consegue fazer. Não sei se a essa altura somos realmente humanos, aqueles de nós que são como a maioria de nós, que cresceram com a TV, filmes e agora internet. Quando somos traídos, sabemos quais palavras dizer; quando um ente querido morre, sabemos quais palavras dizer. Quando queremos bancar o fodão, o espertinho ou o idiota, sabemos quais palavras dizer. Todos trabalhamos a partir do mesmo roteiro gasto. É uma época difícil para ser uma pessoa, apenas uma pessoa real, de verdade, em vez da coleção de traços de personalidade escolhidos de uma interminável máquina automática de personagens."

"All this stuff you're managing. You're not supposed to be managing it. You're supposed to be feeling it: grief, loss, pain. It is normal. It is. It is normal. It's not normal to you 'cause you've never done it. Instead of feeling it, feeling the grief and the pain, you've shoved it all down and you do drugs instead. Instead of moving through the pain, you run from it. Instead of dealing with being hurt and alone and afraid that this horrible, empty feeling is all there is, I run from it. I run off, and I sign up for another tour of active duty. We do these things. We run off, and we medicate. We do whatever it takes to cover it up and dull the sensation, but it's not normal. We're supposed to feel. We're supposed to love and hate and hurt and grieve and break and be destroyed and rebuild ourselves to be destroyed again. That is human. That is humanity. That's being alive. That's the point. That's the entire point. Don't avoid it. Don't extinguish it."

No emotion in the commotion. I wasn’t even sad. Not even when I learned the bullet was meant for my dad. Vietnam made pops crazy. He was already half-dead. So why couldn’t that have been him that got shot in the head? All the news that’s fit to print. Mama’s death went unreported. Not a whiff of word. They don’t care about us niggas is how my pops explained it. But I didn’t know I was a nigga until my dad proclaimed it. Six months later my pops was dead, too. Drug-related shots fired, his skin turned cold blue. On the news that night the president’s wife got a new hairdo. Newsguy said, I don’t like it, how about you? No word about my pops in the post or on CBS. Why was that, you ask? Take a fucking guess. And yeah, why is that? Is what politicians should be asking. But who’s got time for questions when you all skiing up on Aspen. Broads get gunshots to the head and all y’all getting swerving lessons up in Aspen. My mama was so lovely she would’ve made your head spin. Level the playing field and y’all would see who would really win. And yeah I got anger. But I don’t let it take me down. Because my mama taught me better and she holds me up when I fall down. Rest in peace, moms. Don’t worry about your son. Someday I’ll make you proud because, yeah, I am the one."

"There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,

And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,

And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

Robins will wear their feathery fire

Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one

Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree

If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,

Would scarcely know that we were gone."

If there's another world, he lives in bliss;

If there is none, he made the best of this."

Mesmo que eu tivesse o dom da profecia, e conhecesse todos os mistérios e toda a ciência; mesmo que tivesse toda a fé, a ponto de transportar montanhas, se não tiver caridade, não sou nada. Ainda que distribuísse todos os meus bens em sustento dos pobres, e ainda que entregasse o meu corpo para ser queimado, se não tiver caridade, de nada valeria! A caridade é paciente, a caridade é bondosa. Não tem inveja. A caridade não é orgulhosa. Não é arrogante. Nem escandalosa. Não busca os seus próprios interesses, não se irrita, não guarda rancor. Não se alegra com a injustiça, mas se rejubila com a verdade. Tudo desculpa, tudo crê, tudo espera, tudo suporta. [...] Por ora subsistem a fé, a esperança e a caridade. Porém, a maior delas é a caridade."

"A couple hundred years ago Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that 'til tomorrow, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity; you'd think we'd pay more attention to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear if just of making a decision. Because... What if you're wrong? What if you make a mistake you can't undo? Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: That by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it, it can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically... 'The early bird catches the worm.' 'A stitch in time saves nine.' 'He who hesitates is lost.' We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time; heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering. That waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of not trying."
