“She and the girl rest their foreheads together. Say nothing, because they couldn't have heard anything anyway, the echo of the screams in their hearts is deafening.”

“Suffering has been a great teacher, cultivating and culturing our conduct. It develops and refines sensibilities, teaches humility and in more than one way, prepares humans to be able to turn to God. It awakens the need for search and exploration and creates that necessity which is the mother of all inventions. Remove suffering as a causative factor in developing man's potential and the wheel of progress would turn back a hundred thousand times. Man may try his hand at altering the plan of things, but frustration would be all he will achieve. Thus, the question of apportioning blame for the existence of suffering upon the Creator should not arise. Suffering, to play its subtle creative role in the scheme of things, is indeed a blessing in disguise.”

“Se eu conversasse com Deus Iria lhe perguntar: Por que é que sofremos tanto Quando viemos pra cá? Que dívida é essa Que a gente tem que morrer pra pagar? Perguntaria também Como é que ele é feito Que não dorme, que não come E assim vive satisfeito. Por que foi que ele não fez A gente do mesmo jeito? Por que existem uns felizes E outros que sofrem tanto? Nascemos do mesmo jeito, Moramos no mesmo canto. Quem foi temperar o choro E acabou salgando o pranto?”

“Hamlet doesn't fully see that his metaphysical miseries constitute a subliminal symptom of grief; and this was exactly my case. I thought I was sick, I thought I was dying (maybe that is what bereavement actually asks of you). Literature gives us these warnings about the main events, but we don't recognize the warnings until the events have come and gone. Isabel, my senior in the loss of a sibling, told me that you just have to take it, like weather—yes, like sleet in your face.”
