"O teatro, desde sempre, me faz pisar nas nuvens. [...] Sempre ao som do terceiro sinal, me dá um frio na barriga, porque me sinto mergulhando no desconhecido, participando de um risco sem rede de proteção, um momento que é sempre único, porque é 'ao vivo'." - Dib Carneiro Neto

"To live would be an awfully big adventure" - Peter Pan

"...if it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art." - Arnold Schoenberg

"Writing is something you do alone. It’s a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t wanna make eye contact while telling it." - John Green

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music" - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Dying is the day worth living for" - Captain Barbosa

"Everything has got to end sometimes, otherwise nothing would ever get started" - The Doctor

"To be read at the opening of D.P.S. meetings

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately...
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life!
To put to rout all that was not life...
And not, when I came to die, discovered that I had not lived...

H.D.T."

"We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" - Dead Poets Society

"We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone." - Orson Welles

"And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have." - The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"Silence before birth, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences." - Isabel Allende

"There are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake but you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say ‘yep, that was a mistake’. So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake because then you go your whole life not really knowing if something is a mistake or not." - Lily Aldrin (HIMYM)

"The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough." - Ernest Hamingway

“I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived. You, too, must learn to prefer it. After all, when all else is gone, you may still have bitterness in abundance.” - Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente
