Quote by António Lobo Antunes

“Pela minha parte, sabe como é, não peço tanto à vida: as minhas filhas crescem numa casa de que cada vez menos me recordo, de móveis bebidos pelas águas de sombra do passado, as mulheres que encontrei depois abandonei-as ou abandonaram-me numa tranquila decepção mútua em que não houve sequer lugar para esse tipo de ressentimento que é como que o sinal retrospectivo de uma espécie de amor, e envelheço sem graça num andar demasiado grande grande para mim, observando à noite, da secretária vazia, as palpitações do rio, através da varanda fechada cujo vidro me devolve o reflexo de um homem imóvel, de queixo nas mãos, em que me recuso a reconhecer-me, e que teima em fitar-me numa obstinação resignada.”

“I was researching light deficiency for the book Toxic Light. I closed all my window blinds and kept the home interior relatively dark for several months. It made me super sick, then I started to feel better than before I started and then I became sensitive to sunlight. After my gradual return to sunlight I felt better than before I started.”

“Poem : Light The inner light is the true soul of a man. The path of light is self-awaken. Children of the light, walk in the light. We have been called from darkness into the light. There is light within your soul. Let it shine. Inherent within your soul is a greater light, recognize and radiate it. When you walk through the darkness, God shall be your light!. Our greatest quest in life should be to live in the light! The dawn of light is the liberation of souls. Illuminate the wonderful light within you.”

“Breaking: Keep breaking, For this is where living truly lies, In all those dark places, That held those lost and weary cries, Because it's through all the breaking where your roots of strength are found, Through all the mending, Light gives way, and you smash fresh ground. Darling, let it break so you can let it go, And you'll find the surge of healing power through the fiery skin of your soul.”

“How? How do you pull the sun from her sky? Watch her spiral into darkness as planets shake and cry How do you separate a star from her moon? And ponder why nights are restless, blackened skies filled with an eerie doom How do you contain the rain that aches to pour and play? A summer’s day is lesser than she is because you took her rain away How? How can lovers so profound end in such shock and dismay, Ripped from each other, Just as love felt she'd found the one to stay, How?”
