Carlos Drummond de Andrade

The only truth is that I live. Sincerely, I live. Who am I? Well, that's a bit much.

Clarice Lispector

Carolina Maria de Jesus

Because time isn't something that always proceeds at the same pace. It is we who determine how quickly time passes.

Nelson Rodrigues

I would like to wish you so many things.
But nothing would be enough...
So, I wish only that you have many wishes.
Big wishes and may they move you further every single minute,
on route to your happiness!

Carlos Drummond de Andrade
