My son, everything works out in the end. If it didn't, it's because it hasn't come to an end yet. - Fernando Sabino

Everything one sees is merely a projection of what one does not see, its true nature and substance. p315

writers without books, poets without verses, painters without pictures p198

I was going to tell you something very important. But it is so important I'd rather not say it. Only that which is not said is sincere... Only silence is sincere. The silence of someone who is sleeping, for example. How sincere is a sleeper! Sincere as a flower... It is in sleeping that everyone reveals themselves, because of the silence.
