“Chove. Cada vez vejo mais turvo, cada vez tenho mais medo. Estamos enterrados em convenções até ao pescoço: usamos as mesmas palavras, fazemos os mesmo gestos. A poeira entranhada sufoca-nos. Pega-se. Adere. Há dias em que não distingo estes seres da minha própria alma; há dias em que através das máscaras vejo outras fisionomias, e, sob a impassibilidade, dor; há dias em que o céu e o inferno esperam e desesperam. Pressinto uma vida oculta, a questão é fazê-la vir à supuração.
Esta manhã de chuva é um minuto no rodar infinito dos séculos, e os seres que passam meras sombras. Tudo isto me pesa e pesa-me também não viver. Do fundo de mim mesmo protesto que a vida não é isto. A árvore cumpre, o bicho cumpre. Só eu me afundo soterrado em cinza. Terei por força de me habituar à aquiescência e à regra?”
Raul Brandão, úܲ

“Parece que a dor é inseparável da ternura, como a morte é inseparável da vida”
Raúl Brandão, úܲ

“A vila é um simulacro. Melhor: a vida é um simulacro.”
Raul Brandão, úܲ
