“Esse est percipi, to be is to be perceived, said good old Berkeley; but, according to most philosophers, he was wrong. Yet, obviously, there are things for which the adage holds. Perception, trivially, to begin with. If elements of conscious awareness--pains, tickles, feelings of heat and cold, sensory qualia of colors, sounds, and the like--have any existence, it must consist in their being perceived by a subject.... This shows, of course, that such experiences are epiphenomenal, at least with respect to the physical world.”
“Esse ferro bem polido a mim faz-me lembrar, desculpem a divagação, dizia Florita Almada, os óculos escuros de alguns chefes políticos ou de alguns dirigentes sindicais, ou de alguns polícias. Para que tapam eles os olhos?, interrogo-me. Terão passado mal a noite a estudas formas para que o país progrida, para que os operários tenham maior segurança no trabalho ou um aumento salarial, para que a delinquência bata em retirada? Talvez. Não digo que não. Talvez as olheiras deles se devam a isso. Mas o que aconteceria se eu me aproximasse de um deles e lhe os óculos e visse que não têm olheiras? Tenho medo só de imaginar.”

“Esse in effetti praticavano il libero amore, ma erano giovani donne, nella loro esatta stagione d'amore coincidente con una stagione di morte, amavano uomini doomed e l'amore fu molto spesso il penultimo gesto della loro destinata esistenza. Si resero utili, combatterono, fuggirono per la loro vita, conobbero strazi e orrori e terrori sopportandoli quanto gli uomini. Qualcuna cadde, e il suo corpo disteso worked up the men to salute them militarily. E quando furono catturate e scamparono, tornarono infallantemente, fedelmente alla base, al rinnovato rischio, alle note sofferte conseguenze, doper aver visto e subito cose per cui altri od altre si sarebbero sepolti in un convento.”

“Essence loves whatever is happening because it either created it or allowed you (your ego) to create it for your growth and evolution.

Life is perfectly designed to evolve us, and that is what is lovable about every moment.”
