He has carried all his life with the mirage of studying his nation, loving it, intending to contribute to its happiness and prosperity.

Additional quotes by Lima Barreto

At the following morning, when the first citizens started walking around, he was found dead. So died the poor and brave Antônio da Silva Marramaque who, at the age of 18, dreamed with the glories of poetry and was now murdered due his great soul and brave moral! He didn't compose any sonnet and, if he did, he composed bad ones. But, by his way, he was a hero and a poet... that God bless him!
