Quotes edit see section history

• “Nesse caso, o general cartaginês também deve ter trazido cornacas no seu exército, Não levaria os elefantes a lado nenhum se não houvesse quem os guiasse, Levou-os à guerra, À guerra dos homens, A bem dizer, não há outras.”

• “"Well, it isn't every day that an elephant appears in our lives"”

• “"It must be said that history is always selective, and discriminatory too, selecting from life only what society deems to be historical and scorning the rest, which is precisely where we might find the true explanation of facts, of things, of wretched reality itself. In truth, I say to you, it is better to be a novelist, a fiction writer, a liar."”

• “"We should know by now that the most exact, most precise representation of the human heart is the labyrinth. And where the human heart is involved, anything is possible."”
