Quote by Augusto Branco

“A woman cries for nothing, is sad for no apparent reason and suffers without anyone knowing why. And all this goes away as it came: alone and without explanation. In front of a woman like that, just approach, make silence and give her your hand.”

I don’t answer to the slaves of God on earth. I answer to their King.”
