Quote by Ray Smith

“Intellectually, she recognized the summer could’ve lasted only so many days, but, in remembrance, it seemed to last epochs, from the creation of the Milky Way to its expiration. Not because the time was dull but rather it was so damn fun and so life-affirming, it could’ve been a magical potion concocted to revive the dead. Even in her advanced age, she could see that time, so clearly delineated in what the novelist John Dos Passos called the Camera Eye—mental snapshots, frozen in bliss, which neither age nor time could mar their perfection.”

“O BEIJO E A LÁGRIMA Quero um beijo, pediu ela. Um sismo abalou o peito dele. E devotou o calor de lava dos seus lábios, entontecida água na cascata. Entusiamado, ele se preparou para, de novo, duplicar o corpo e regressar à vertigem do beijo. Mas ela o fez parar. Só queria um beijo. Um único beijo para chorar. Há anos que não pranteava. E a sua alma se convertia em areia do deserto. Encantada, ela no dedo recolheu a lágrima. E se repetiu o gesto com que Deus criou o Oceano.”
