- Então, Marinheiro, vais-te embora?

- Que remédio... não sou daqueles que ganham raízes!

- Tinhas aqui tudo o que procuras... mas és cego como uma toupeira...

- É muito provável, Boca Dourada... mas sou eu quem tem de descobrir isso.

- Ah, sim... sim... mas lembra-te de nós. Tens aqui uma casa. Não voltes demasiado velho. O que procuras não existe.

Hugo Pratt, Sob a Bandeira dos Piratas

- So, Sailor, you're leaving?
- What choice do I have ... I am not one who takes root!
- You had everything here that you are looking for ... but you are blind as a mole ...
- It is very likely, Golden Mouth ... but I have to figure that out for myself.
- Ah, yes ... yes ... but remember us. You have a home here. Do not return too old. What you are looking for does not exist.
Hugo Pratt, Under the Pirate Banner

The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love.

In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me.

Then I came back from where I’d been.
My room, it looked the same –
But there was nothing left between
The Nameless and the Name.

I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door –
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone.

Leonard Cohen - Love Itself

Somewhere along the line, sobriety became a sort of door-to-door salesman.

You don't know what it's selling yet but you already know you're not interested.

"What this case shows is that the FBI is getting
very effective in going after these groups," said Jerry Dixon, a
former head of the Department of Homeland Security's National
Cyber Security Division and director of analysis at Team Cymru,
a cyber security research group.
"They are able to get members to turn in the others and peel
back the onion and ferret out many more of the members."

"I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. And this is like my little window to the world... and every minute's a different show. I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. But I'll tell you what I've accepted: just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even key, this is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require explanation - just occupance. That's where you guys come in. " The Boat Car Guy, in Waking Life
