Quote by José Eduardo Agualusa

“It is December in Paris. It was already December when I set out from Luanda, leaving the radiance of your gaze behind me. And it will be December yet, even after the month is over, and then will come only more December and winter, and December again and always the same, until l come back to the Sunny Season, and the land which is lit everywhere, always, by your gaze.”

“But you will imagine that it is best that He should at once enable you to see clearly. If it is, you may be sure He will do it. He never makes mistakes. But He often deals far differently with His disciples. He lets them grope their way in the dark until they fully learn how blind they are, how helpless, how absolutely in need of Him. What His methods will be with you I cannot foretell. But you may be sure that He never works in an arbitrary way. He has a reason for everything He does. You may not understand why He leads you now in this way and now in that, but you may, nay, you must believe that perfection is stamped on His every act.”

“Dolce Martina Sono passati due mesi da quel giorno, due mesi dal giorno in cui sei scomparsa, dal giorno in cui quel maledetto incidente ti ha portata via. Mi manchi tantissimo, ti penso ogni sera e ogni mattina, vorrei tanto averti ancora accanto, potermi confidare con te come facevo un tempo quando ci sedevamo davanti al camino, in inverno, per raccontarci i nostri piccoli segreti. Non riesco a non scoppiare in lacrime immaginando la mia prossima estate senza i nostri tuffi in piscina e il nostro bisbigliare sdraiate sui materassini... Niente di tutto ciò è però possibile. Ti hanno trascinata via da me, la vita ti ha abbandonata, e qualcosa ha abbandonato anche me. Tu eri mia cugina, ma eri anche il mio riferimento in questo mondo che sta cambiando e diventa sempre più incomprensibile. Tu eri la mia guida; senza di te mi sento persa.”
