just how far is the sky?

My heartbeat has reached the epitome of rottenness; It is no longer part of my heart. Time for the shadows to come and grab me by the brain. Dearest, I am asking you again: Just how far is the sky?

Selected Letters, Friedrich Nietzsche (via)

diabos em forma de gente

Quando não consideramos que o homem diante de nós é um ser humano, poucas serão as restrições que a nossa consciência imporá ao nosso comportamento para com ele.

Cidade de Vidro, Trilogia de Nova Iorque, Paul Auster

one day

There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. Yes, we are ignorant of many beautiful things - things like the truth. So sadness, in our ignorance, is very real.
The tears are real. What is this thing called a tear? There are even tiny ducts - tear ducts - to produce these tears should the sadness occur. Then the day when the sadness comes - then we ask: 'Will this sadness which makes me cry - will this sadness that makes my heart cry out - will it ever end?'
The answer, of course, is yes. One day the sadness will end.

I'm tired of my cave.

querido diário

o meu primeiro dia como proprietária de um velocípede de duas rodas não podia ter corrido melhor.
no regresso a casa estatelei-me de tal forma à beira da estrada que até parei o trânsito. foi um sucesso, portanto.

I wander as if in a dream the whole afternoon. All my chores become so unreal and meaningless.
