“Guaravacan del Guaicuì: vossignoria prenda nota di questo nome. Ma, non esiste più, non si trova – ultimamente, quel posto si chiama Caixeiropoli; e dicono che là adesso ci vengono le febbri. In quel tempo, no. No che io mi ricordi. Ma fu in quel luogo, in quel tempo, che il mio destino fu suggellato. È possibile che ci sia un punto definito, da cui uno non può più tornare indietro? Traversia della mia vita. Guaravacan – vossignoria veda, vossignoria scriva. Le grandi cose, prima che accadano. Adesso, il mondo vuol restare senza sertao. […] Quel luogo, l'aria. […] Il vento è verde. Lì, nell'intervallo, uno prende il silenzio e se lo mette sulle ginocchia. Io sono di dove nacqui. Sono di altri luoghi. Ma, là, a Guaravacan, io stavo bene.”

“Every human relationship begins with a coincidence. Even the most fundamental relationship - that of parent and child - begins entirely with a coincidence. The child is produced by whatever serendipity brought its parents together, and the fact that the child was born to its particular parents instead of to another couple is pure happenstance. Thus, children have no choice over the relationship that is most important to their existence. By contrast, friends and lovers choose each other, but even these choices are reactions to whatever random coincidence made the resulting relationship possible.”
