ESTAÇÕES DIFERENTES

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."

"Love isn't what these asshole poets like McKuen want you to think it is. Love has teeth; they bite; the wounds never close. No word, no combination of words, can close those lovebites. It's the other way around, that's the joke. If those wounds dry up, the words die with them. Take it from me. I've made my life from the words, and I know that is so."

Stephen King, pela voz da personagem Gordon Lachance em "The Body", uma novela incluida no livro "Different Seasons", de 1982.

Dou-lhe toda a razão. Toda mesmo

Caham... posso meter-me, Filipe? ;)
De facto, o post contém uma citação, mas, ao mesmo tempo, mais uma ideia (passível de discussão) do Stephen II.
However, concordo contigo num ponto: queremos textos do autor do blog!!! Ainda que os mesmos possam gerar discórdia.
Bom fim-de-semana a todos!
