I am a writer who has written about the life of my people, the character of my people. What I can say is that the greatest hero of the Brazilian novel is the Brazilian people.

Love is not to be proven or measured...It exists, and that is enough.

The world is like that -- incomprehensible and full of surprises .

Love--the most wonderful and most terrible thing in the world.

Life was good, one had only to live it.

Many things I might not write today because I no longer believe them, but I wouldn't change them, since I believed them at the time.

Night was running ahead of itself.

That's the very reason why love is eternal, because it is forever renewed. Passions die, love remains.

I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.

Friends, we have a hero living among us.

At the end of the day, what matters most is not what tore you apart but the love than binds and heals your heart.

I didn't fail the test. I just found 100 different ways to do it wrong.

There's a whole journalistic-industrial complex dedicated to keeping newsprint, TV screens and radio waves clean of destabilizing scoops damaging to corporations or the state.

I think anytime we talk about transforming in capitalist society, we are talking about a process not a particular event so you can't talk about a socialist revolution.

The big money in booms is always made first by the public - on paper. And it remains on paper.

I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.

Painters were also attorneys, happy storytellers of anecdote, psychologists, botanists, zoologists, archaeologists, engineers, but there were no creative painters.

Most of us live in a world that has ceased to exist.

In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.

I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself?
