 "A irresistível proliferação da grafomania entre os homens políticos, os motoristas de táxi, as parturientes, os amantes, os assassinos, os ladrões, as prostitutas, os prefeitos, os médicos e os doentes demonstra-me que qualquer homem, sem excepção, traz em si um escritor virtual, de modo que toda a espécie humana poderia, com razão, descer à rua e gritar: somos todos escritores!

Porque cada um sofre com a ideia de desaparecer num universo indiferente, sem ser ouvido nem visto, e por essa razão quer, enquanto pode, transformar-se no seu próprio universo de palavras.

Quando um dia (muito em breve) todos os homens acordarem escritores, terá chegado o tempo da surdez e da incompreensão universal."

 Kafka à Beira Mar (2002) - Haruki Murakami.

A Queda (1956) - Albert Camus

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.   

They may not mean to, but they do.   

They fill you with the faults they had

 And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn

By fools in old-style hats and coats,   

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.

It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

And don’t have any kids yourself.

The Ballad of Ira Hayes - Johnny Cash

letra de  Peter La Farge

Ira Hayes

Ira Hayes

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinking Indian

Or the marine that went to war

Gather 'round me people

There's a story I would tell

'Bout a brave young Indian

You should remember well

From the land of the Pima Indian

A proud and noble band

Who farmed the Phoenix Valley

In Arizona land

Down the ditches a thousand years

The waters grew Ira's peoples' crops

'Til the white man stole their water rights

And the sparkling water stopped

Now, Ira's folks were hungry

And their land grew crops of weeds

When war came, Ira volunteered

And forgot the white man's greed

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinking Indian

Or the marine that went to war

There they battled up Iwo Jima hill

Two hundred and fifty men

But only twenty-seven lived

To walk back down again

And when the fight was over

And Old Glory raised

Among the men who held it high

Was the Indian, Ira Hayes

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinking Indian

Or the marine that went to war

Ira Hayes returned a hero

Celebrated through the land

He was wined and speeched and honored

Everybody shook his hand

But he was just a Pima Indian

No water, no home, no chance

At home nobody cared what Ira'd done

And when did the Indians dance

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinking Indian

Or the marine that went to war

Then Ira started drinking hard

Jail was often his home

They let him raise the flag and lower it

Like you'd throw a dog a bone

He died drunk early one morning

Alone in the land he fought to save

Two inches of water and a lonely ditch

Was a grave for Ira Hayes

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinking Indian

Or the marine that went to war

Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes

But his land is just as dry

And his ghost is lying thirsty

In the ditch where Ira died

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) (1965) - The Beatles

"TODA A GENTE, SEM TIRAR NEM PÔR, tem ambições, objetivos, iniciativas e metas. A meta deste rapaz em concreto era ser capaz de tocar com os lábios em cada centímetro quadrado do próprio corpo.

Os braços até aos ombros e a maior parte das pernas abaixo do joelho eram brincadeira de criança. No entanto, depois dessas zonas do corpo, a dificuldade aumentava tão abruptamente como uma saliência costeira. O rapaz veio a compreender que o aguardavam desafios inimagináveis. Tinha seis anos."
