Quote by Susanna Kearsley

“It's hard enough judging the motives of people who live in our own times, let alone the motives of those who've been dead three hundred years. They can't come back and tell us, can they?”

“In the history of the world, we have left our footprints by our unique stories.”

“Queres acaso te ver livre da melancolia? Queres prazer, mas longe da louca agonia? Queres ler enigmas, e sua precisa solução, Ou preferes te afogar na tua contemplação? Queres a carne? Será não preferes, destarte, Ver um homem nas nuvens, ouvindo falar-te? Anseias ver-te num sonho, mas sem dormir? Ou não preferes a um só tempo chorar e rir? Não te atrai a ti mesmo te perderes sem dano? Pra depois te achares sem passe sobre-humano? Queres tu mesmo ler, sem sequer saber o quê, Sabendo, porém por essas linhas mesmas que lês, Se estás ou não abençoado? Ah, vem, então, E abre meu livro, uma só mente, um só coração.”
