About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the whole world, to make lots of truly friends.

ABOUT ME

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived … I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms..." (61) (Henry Thoreau - Walden, 1854).

PHILOSOPHY

"Eterno, é tudo aquilo que dura uma fração de segundos, mas com tamanha intensidade, que se petrifica, e nenhuma força jamais o resgata."

- Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Dito de outra forma, um grande amigo me mostrou essa frase, que resume bem o que penso.

"Não tenho a pretensão de que todas as pessoas que gosto, gostem de mim... Nem que eu faça a falta que elas me fazem. O importante pra mim é saber que eu, em algum momento, fui insubstituível... Quero, um dia, poder dizer às pessoas que nada foi em vão... Que o amor existe, que vale a pena se doar às amizades, às pessoas, que a vida é bela sim, e que eu sempre dei o melhor de mim... e que tudo valeu a pena!"

- Mário Quintana
