“I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.”

“I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.”

“Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don’t need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”

"(…) a peculiaridade da maioria das coisas que consideramos frágeis é como elas são, na verdade,..."

“(…) a peculiaridade da maioria das coisas que consideramos frágeis é como elas são, na verdade, fortes. Havia truques que fazíamos com ovos, quando crianças, para demonstrar que eles são, apesar de não nos darmos conta disso, pequenos salões de mármore capazes de suportar grandes pressões, e muitos dizem que o bater de asas de uma borboleta no lugar certo pode criar um furacão do outro lado do oceano. Corações podem ser partidos, mas o coração é o mais forte dos músculos, capaz de pulsar durante toda a vida, setenta vezes por minuto, não falhando quase nunca. Até os sonhos, que são as coisas mais intangíveis e delicadas podem se mostrar incrivelmente difíceis de matar.
Histórias, assim como pessoas, borboletas, ovos de aves canoras, corações humanos e sonhos, também são coisas frágeis, feitas de nada mais forte ou duradouro do que 26 letras e um punhado de sinais de pontuação. Ou então são palavras no ar, compostas de sonhos e idéias – abstratas, invisíveis, sumindo no momento que são pronunciadas –, e o que poderia ser mais frágil que isso? Mas algumas histórias, pequenas, simples, sobre gente embarcando em aventuras ou realizando maravilhas, contos de milagres e de monstros, perduram mais que todas as pessoas que contaram, e algumas perduram mais do que as próprias terras onde elas foram criadas.”

- Neil Gaiman - Coisas Frágeis 2
