Quotes edit see section history

• “E eu, só tenho dezassete anos e não tenho o direito de me enganar!”

  Ghislaine Locronan

• “Senhor, não abandonaste os teus discípulos na tempestade do lado de Tiberíades. Aqui estou eu e Catarina metidos noutra espécie de tempestade, também esta de respeito! Vigia os meus passos, Senhor! Impede-me que escorregue nestes rochedos horrorosos e nestas ravinas de erva escorregadia como sabão... Afasta os raios Senhor... Peço-te... Sei que o podes fazer... Fá-lo, Senhor!”

  Daniel Couttaz

• “Não te lembras? O jogo das escondidas no jardim, à noite... Tinhas-me apanhado e olhavas-me rindo com as mãos nos meus ombros. «Apanhei-te, Clara», disseste tu nessa noite. E já então era verdade...”

  Clara

• “Viu os olhos do praticante encherem-se de... Não, não era pavor, era a dor contida mas dura da gente do mar.”

• “Trigueirinha recomeçou a tocar, talvez ainda com mais profundidade. Pensava num campo. Trabalhava um campo com aponta do arco. Um grande pedaço de terra castanha, com o céu todo debruçado sobre ele. Percorria-o de ponta a ponta, um esforço regular e forte de charrua; fazendo por vezes voos, escapadelas, gestos doces que eram o céu e as nuvens, os pássaros, o vento a passar. Era de facto uma música que remexia a terra.”
