Quote by Ofélia Queiroz

“Há muitas amizades, Nininho, mas amizades sinceras capazes de todos os sacrifícios, há-as bem poucas. As raparigas de hoje pensam mais noutras coisas do que em afeições verdadeiras. Tudo nelas é fictício. [...] vejo a maneira de se apresentarem e oiço-lhes as conversas com as amigas íntimas e com as mamãs e até mesmo a mim já me têm feito certas confidências. 13-3-1930”

“With his head thrust forward like a ram, Baryba pushed his way through to the front. For some reason this was necessary, he felt with all his guts that it was necessary. He clenched his iron jaws. Something bestial stirred in him, something he hungered for, some murderous instinct. To be with everybody, to howl like everybody, to hit the one that everybody else was hitting. ("A Provincial Tale")”

“Last summer, in London at least, the hoodie was transformed from a benign piece of leisurewear into a uniform for the disaffected, the angry, the malevolent. So much so that ‘hoodie’ was no longer a piece of clothing. It was a whole person. A hoodie was somebody likely to steal, plunder and do you unimaginable harm. People were crossing the street when a hoodie crossed their path - even if it was a 70-year-old gentleman walking his dog. That’s how quickly the fear had permeated the collective consciousness. And lifting the hood was tantamount to cocking a gun.”
