é preciso que eu suporte duas ou três larvas se quiser conhecer as borboletas.

nina


I want a little sugar
in my bowl
I want a little sweetness
down in my soul
I could stand some lovin'
Oh so bad
I feel so funny and I feel so sad

I want a little steam
on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up
so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl

da inocência perdida

Não tenha medo. Só quero dizer que aquilo que cada um de nós tiver de ser na vida, não o será pelas palavras que ouve nem pelos conselhos que recebe. Teremos de receber na própria carne a cicatriz que nos transforma em verdadeiros homens. Depois, é agir…

dos impossíveis



Madonna on Basquiat: "He was one of the few people I was truly envious of [...] But he didn't know how good he was and he was plagued with insecurities. He used to say he was jealous of me because music is more accessible and it reached more people. He loathed the idea that art was appreciated by an elite group. When I heard that Jean-Michel had died, I was not surprised. He was too fragile for this world."

remember


We are all losers, but the true losers are down there on Wall Street. (...)There is a danger. Don’t fall in love with yourselves. We have a nice time here. But remember, carnivals come cheap. What matters is the day after, when we will have... to return to normal lives. Will there be any changes then? I don’t want you to remember these days, you know, like “Oh, we were young and it was beautiful.” Remember that our basic message is “We are allowed to think about alternatives.”

So all we need is patience. The only thing I’m afraid of is that we will someday just go home and then we will meet once a year, drinking beer, and nostalgically remembering “What a nice time we had here.” Promise yourselves that this will not be the case. We know that people often desire something but do not really want it. Don’t be afraid to really want what you desire.

la niña mala





ya ves lo que perdiste por cobarde - replicó, sus ojitos color miel constelados de chispas burlonas, mientras me echaba una bocanada de humo a la cara con toda intención -. si aquella vez que te propuse quedarme contigo me hubieras dicho sí, ahora sería tu mujer. pero no querías quedar mal con tu amigo, el camarada jean, y me despachaste a cuba. perdiste la ocasión de tu vida (...).
