― Carola Saavedra , Blue Flowers
2 " um homem dormindo é um homem desarmado, um homem-menino "
3 " I think about your face when I used to ask you a question, any old bit of nonsense. Your face would be tense, apprehensive, at the pointlessness of my questions. You never realized that I was asking without expecting any answer, just out of a simple need to confirm that you were there with me, my hand seeking yours, seeking any affection, any tenderness for me on your part. "

5 " They say separation is never one single moment; it’s never abrupt. They say a separation starts inside out. It’s precisely at the moment of greatest sweetness—at that first meeting, at that first look—that a separation begins to exist. "
6 " I hate how you always insist on thinking you know everything about me.” “Of course I don’t, I haven’t known anything about you for ages. You became a stranger to me a long time ago. "
7 " O ódio e o medo fazem a gente dizer qualquer coisa. "

10 " O mundo não está à sua espera. "
11 " Coragem não é só sair por aí vociferando meia dúzia de ideais, coragem é ser capaz das coisas mais prosaicas. "

13 " Women were like that, he thought, when they wanted something they didn’t care, they didn’t ask, they just went off and did it, and then they felt deeply disappointed when other people didn’t share their excitement. "
14 " Memory tends to deceive, memory and time and the desire for things to be the way we think they were, "
15 " Perhaps I call out to you, and you go on, never looking back. "
16 " She hadn’t said as much, but it was clear she would never forgive him. And she never did. Women can be terribly resentful, that was his conclusion. "
17 " Arecently separated man needs a woman who has at least a minimal amount of understanding. A woman to be with him at times when he’s most sociable, and who will leave him alone when solitude becomes indispensable again. But women understand only what matters to them, "
18 " Beautiful women tend to be more complicated, perhaps because their beauty has made things too easy for them, given them a lot of options and little need to face reality. Beautiful women tend to be self-centered and childish, he thought, they never escape from the role of little princess and expect that the man, as their subject, or as a father who will deny them nothing, is going to spoil them and demand nothing in return, just because they are beautiful. "
19 " The world of women is a closed-off world, he thought, a world apart. And he was surrounded by women on all sides; unlike certain men who felt more at ease with them, he didn’t, and it bothered him, that sense that nothing he was or did would be enough. The truth was, women scared him, and at the same time, led him to experience feelings that were confusing and contradictory. "
