“Não me acreditarás se eu te disser o que tenho diante de mim, todas as imagens da igreja estão com os olhos vendados (...) Imagino esse homem a entrar aqui vindo do mundo dos cegos, aonde depois teria de regressar para cegar também, imagino as portas fechadas, a igreja deserta, o silêncio, imagino as estátuas, as pinturas, vejo-o ir de uma para outra, a subir aos altares e a atar os panos, com dois nós, para que não deslacem e caiam, a as sentar duas mãos de tinta nas pinturas para tornar mais espessa a noite branca em que entraram, esse padre deve ter sido o maior sacrílego de todos os tempos e de todas as religiões, o mais justo, o mais radicalmente humano, o que veio aqui para declarar finalmente que Deus não merece ver.”

“By 'Perry Mason moment,' I mean that climactic instant during a trial when you have just done something fantastic and everyone in the courtroom knows it. Your brilliant question or some stunning admission you coerced from a witness has left the opposing lawyer reeling, his mouth agape, and jurors amazed and entertained. The case is won; the rest of the trial is a formality. Your friends and colleagues are itching to congratulate you as soon as a recess is called. Only a supreme effort of will on your part, coupled with the knowledge that the judge and jurors are watching, keeps you from high-fiving everyone in sight.”
