O problema de ler muitos livros



É que habituamo-nos a personagens cativantes de carácter profundo com diálogos interessantes e depois começamos a esperar das pessoas em geral profundidade de carácter e diálogos interessantes e acabamos decepcionados.


‘… but in my experience there aren’t many evil people around. Just ill-informed, misguided and ignorant ones.’
Colonel Stok said: ‘In Russia our people are not misinformed.’
‘There are many people who think that water has no taste,’ I said, ‘because we were born with it in our mouths and it’s been there ever since.’
KGB man, Colonel Stok in Billion Dollar Brain by Len Deighton

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?” 

― Erin Hanson
