Quote by Niccolò Machiavelli

“... Men are either to be kindly treated, or utterly crushed, since they can revenge lighter injuries, but not graver. Wherefore the injury we to do a man should be of a sort to leave no fear of reprisals.”

“For we may remark generally of our mathematical researches, that these auxiliary quantities, these long and difficult calculations into which we are often drawn, are almost always proofs that we have not in the beginning considered the objects themselves so thoroughly and directly as their nature requires, since all is abridged and simplified, as soon as we place ourselves in a right point of view.”

“Vem, o tempo urge... as constelações já iniciaram o movimento de mudança de hemisfério, e as dunas fenderam-se onde o mar avançou, e o mar toca-nos os olhos e o sono. Vem, antes que os cardos se espalhem com o vento, e a geada esconda a água dos poços, e a noite acabe, assim, sem prevenir, dentro de uma mão que se fecha à luz. Vem, antes que os meus olhos só vejam o que tu não vês, e as minhas mãos já não toquem o que tu tocaste... e a tua boca se canse de procurar o que de ti ainda possuo, e do teu nome não reste mais que uma metade do meu.”
