"Apenas nos iludimos, pensando ser donos das coisas, dos instantes e dos outros. Comigo caminham todos os mortos que amei, todos os amigos que se afastaram, todos os dias felizes que se apagaram. Não perdi nada, apenas a ilusão de que tudo podia ser meu para sempre."
Miguel Esteves Cardoso (enviado há anos por um amigo que me soube sentir)
