Quote by Mia Couto

“O parto é uma mentira: nós não nascemos nele. antes, já estamos nascendo. A gente vai acordando no antecedente do tempo, antes mesmo de nascer. É como a planta que, no segredo da terra, já é raíz antes de rpoclamar seu verde sobre o mundo.”

"But if I have believed in eternal realities ... if I have thrust myself toward them, it is also because I was alone, because you were no longer there to be my God, to fill my heart with your abundant and dominating life.”

“Marita doesn't need a brand-new school with acres of playing fields and gleaming facilities. She doesn't need a laptop, a smaller class, a teacher with a PhD, or a bigger apartment. She doesn't need a hight IQ or a mind as quick as Chris Langan's. All those things would be nice, of course. But they miss the point. Marita just need a chance. And look at the chance she was given! Someone brought a little bit of the rice paddy to the South Bronx and explained to her the miracle of meaningful work.”
