Quote by João Guimarães Rosa

“Esbandalhados nós estávamos, escatimados naquela esfrega. Esmorecidos é que não. Nenhum se lastimava, filhos do dia, acho mesmo que ninguém se dizia de dar por assim. Jagunço é isso. Jagunço não se escabrêia com perda nem derrota — quase que tudo para ele é o igual. Nunca vi. Pra ele a vida já está assentada: comer, beber, apreciar mulher, brigar, e o fim final.”

“Earthlings tend to believe that they know the reality surrounding them, but such reality is in actuality just a mass schizophrenic manifestation supported by shadowing reflections of their own thoughts. It is not real unless agreed upon. And the more they keep themselves protected by their groups, to which they attach themselves based on emotional and psychological similarities and familiarities, the more arrogant they will become in such view of the world while detaching themselves further away from the truth. Life then becomes like an Asylum for souls who are ignorant of their ignorance, deluded in their own shared perceptions, and randomly wondering why the ghosts of their own reflections keep changing shape.”

“Follow the ones that have once traveled the same path you do, because history repeats itself. In every generation, we have exactly the same kind of people we had in the past, in new stages of expression. The ones that created the television represent now the ones creating the iPad, the one that created the first plane is now like the one making satellites, and the one that once travelled around the unexplored sea, is as the one now traveling around the unexplored space. If you learn from the ones that have done what you do, you can learn much in order to move faster in your field than anyone else.”
