Mateus, Novo Testamento, MT, 18:15

Mateus, MT, 18:15, <J> - Se o seu irmão pecar contra você, vá e repreenda-o em particular. Se ele ouvir, você ganhou o seu irmão.</J>

I stand in the ring in the dead city and tie on the red shoes. Everything that was calm is mine, the watch with an ant walking, the toes, lined up like dogs, the stove long before it boils toads, the parlor, white in winter, long before flies, the doe lying down on moss, long before the bullet. I tie on the red shoes. They are not mine. They are my mother’s. Her mother’s before. Handed down like an heirloom but hidden like shameful letters. The house and the street where they belong are hidden and all the women, too, are hidden. All those girls who wore the red shoes, each boarded a train that would not stop. Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop. They all danced like trout on the hook. They were played with. They tore off their ears like safety pins. Their arms fell off them and became hats. Their heads rolled off and sang down the street. And their feet – oh God, their feet in the market place - their feet, those two beetles, ran for the corner and then danced forth as if they were proud. Surely, people exclaimed, surely they are mechanical. Otherwise… But the feet went on. The feet could not stop. They were wound up like a cobra that sees you. They were elastic pulling itself in two. They were islands during an earthquake. They were ships colliding and going down. Never mind you and me. They could not listen. They could not stop. What they did was the death dance. What they did would do them in.

Amas ou não uma mulher, mas não sabes porquê. Como hás-de poder saber a razão do bem e do mal?

O egoísmo é o único móbil das ações humanas.

Deuteronômio, Antigo Testamento, DT, 33:15

Deuteronômio, DT, 33:15, com o que é mais excelente dos montes antigos e mais excelente das colinas eternas;

Eu sou aquela mulher que fez a escalada da montanha da vida, removendo pedras e plantando flores.

Jeremias, Antigo Testamento, JR, 23:18

Jeremias, JR, 23:18, Porque quem esteve no conselho do Senhor, e viu, e ouviu a sua palavra? Quem esteve atento à sua palavra e a ouviu?

É preciso planar sobre o que fazemos. É necessário saber muito mais por cima e por baixo, ao lado e de todos os lados, rodear o seu objeto e tornar-se o seu dono.

No Brasil não existe filantropia, o que existe é pilantropia.

Ezequiel, Antigo Testamento, EZ, 38:18

Ezequiel, EZ, 38:18, Naquele dia, quando Gogue vier contra a terra de Israel, diz o Senhor Deus, eu ficarei furioso.
