that is what we say when we do not wish to play the weakling, we say Fine, even though we may be dying, and this is commonly known as taking one's courage in both hands, a phenomenon that has only been observed in the human species.

the doves, as we know, must be killed according to the law before Mary's purification can be acknowledged and ratified. Any ironic or irreverent disciple of Voltaire will find it difficult to resist making the obvious remark that, things being what they are, purity can be maintained only so long as there are innocent creatures to sacrifice in this world, whether turtledoves, lambs, or others.

You do not know, you cannot know, what it means to have eyes in a world in which everyone else is blind, I am not a queen, no, I am simply the one who was born to see this horror, you can feel it, I both feel and see it.

But why sacrifice Your own son's life for so little, surely all You have to do is send a prophet. The time when people listened to prophets has passed, nowadays one must administer stronger medicine, shock treatment, to touch men's hearts and stir their feelings. Such as a son of God hanging from a cross. Yes, why not.

e o pior de tudo talvez nem sejam as palavras ditas e os actos praticados, o pior, porque e irremediavel definitivamente, e o gesto que nao fiz, a palavra que nao disse, aquilo que teria dado sentido ao feito e ao dito, Se um morto se inquieta tanto, a morte nao e sossego, Nao ha sossego no mundo, nem para os mortos nem para os vivos, Entao onde esta a diferenca entre uns e outros, A diferenca e uma so, os vivos ainda tem tempo, mas o mesmo..

A morte conhece tudo a nosso respeito, e talvez por isso seja triste. Se e certo que nunca sorri, e so porque lhe faltam os labios, e esta licao anatomica nos diz que, ao contrario do que os vivos julgam, o sorriso nao e uma questao de dentes.

He had grown so accustomed to feeling tired that he took a certain pleasure in it, the pleasure of someone who has given up, the pleasure of someone who, when the moment of truth arrives, turns back the clock and says: "It's too early." The pleasure of self-sacrifice. But sacrifice is only complete when it is kept hidden from view; making it visible is tantamount to saying, "Look at me, look how self-sacrificing I am," and making sure that ..

El senor no oye, el senor es sordo, por todas partes se le alzan suplicas, son los pobres, los infelices, los desgraciados, todos implorandole el remedio que el mundo les niega, y el senor les da la espalda, comenzo haciendo una alianza con los hebreos y ahora hace un pacto con el diablo, para esto no merece la pena que haya dios.

you will become reconciled with legality and with that root of roots, the national community, returning, like the prodigal son, to the paternal home. You are now a lawless city. You will not have a government to tell you what you should and should not do, how you should and should not behave, the streets will be yours, they belong to you, use them as you wish, there will be no authority to stop you in your tracks and offer you sound advice,..

Ci sono momenti cosi, crediamo nell'importanza di cio che abbiamo detto o scritto fino a quel punto, soltanto perche non e stato possibile far tacere i suoni o cancellare i tratti, ma ci entra nel corpo la tentazione del silenzio, il fascino dell'immobilita, stare come stanno gli dei, zitti e tranquilli, solo ad assistere.
