Quote by Charles Dickens

“Mas uma vez o senhor me disse: "Que Deus a abençoe! Que Deus a perdoe!" E se foi capaz de me dizer isso naquela ocasião, não hesitará em repetir agora as palavras... agora que passei pelo aprendizado mais duro do sofrimento, que posso compreender como era o seu coração. O sofrimento venceu-me e despedaçou-me, mas espero que me tenha tornado melhor. Peço que seja atencioso comigo, que seja generoso como da última vez, e me diga que somos amigos.”

I'm talking about enduring the boredom, the messiness, and the inconvenience of doing what is right.”

“You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.”

“Quero insistir em que o que caracteriza e diferencia a amizade do amor não é a inexistência de trocas eróticas. [...] O que caracteriza a amizade é, antes de tudo, seu caráter de afinidade intelectual, provocando um tipo de aconchego também intelectual, enquanto o amor determina aconchego físico, muito menos discriminado e no qual as afinidades podem ou não existir.”
