Records are there to be broken.

"O escritor é um eterno insatisfeito, sempre em busca da palavra perfeita."

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.

The road to success is always under construction.

A book can be a quiet place in a noisy world.

The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.

Never let fear decide your future.

I'm not interested in being a celebrity. I'm interested in being an artist.
