Citações

"Computers are useless, they can only give you answers."

"The universe is merely a fleeting idea in God's mind - a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you' ve just made a down payment on a house."

"What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists?
In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet."
Woody Allen

"More than any time in history, mankind now faces a crossroads.
One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction.
Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly."
Woody Allen

and I just hate it."

How much patience you have, for instance."

This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining."

Oscar Wilde

when they are merely rearranging their prejudices."

then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I' m leaving."
Steven Wright

Comecei a ler "Cadernos da casa morta" de Dostoievski:

"O homem e' uma criatura que se habitua a tudo e, acho eu, essa e' a melhor das suas definições".

Li recentemente "A morte em Veneza" de Thomas Mann, prefiro o filme do Visconti.
No livro tudo se passa rápido demais, tem páginas a menos.
