Quote by Baltasar Gracián

“160 - Falar com cautela. Com os rivais por cautela, com os demais por decência. Sempre há tempo para enviar a palavra, mas não para voltar atrás. Há-se de falar como em testamento, que para menos palavras, menos pleitos. No que não importa se há de ensaiar para o que importa. Há algo de divino no mistério. A fala leviana perto está de ser vencida e convencia.”

“Doctor Parcival began to plead with George Willard. 'You must pay attention to me,' he urged. 'If something happens you will be able to write the book that I may never get written. The idea is very simple, so simple that if you are not careful you will forget it. It is this - that everyone in the world is Christ and they are all crucified. That's what I want to say. Don't you forget that. Whatever happens, don't you dare let yourself forget that.”
