“Se eu conversasse com Deus Iria lhe perguntar: Por que é que sofremos tanto Quando viemos pra cá? Que dívida é essa Que a gente tem que morrer pra pagar? Perguntaria também Como é que ele é feito Que não dorme, que não come E assim vive satisfeito. Por que foi que ele não fez A gente do mesmo jeito? Por que existem uns felizes E outros que sofrem tanto? Nascemos do mesmo jeito, Moramos no mesmo canto. Quem foi temperar o choro E acabou salgando o pranto?”

“Hamlet doesn't fully see that his metaphysical miseries constitute a subliminal symptom of grief; and this was exactly my case. I thought I was sick, I thought I was dying (maybe that is what bereavement actually asks of you). Literature gives us these warnings about the main events, but we don't recognize the warnings until the events have come and gone.
