  3. Meus autores brasileiros prediletos são Gilberto Freyre, Guimarães Rosa, Jorge Amado, Graciliano Ramos, Machado de Assis e Euclides da Cunha. Gosto muito de Dostoiévski. Gosto dele desde jovem. E gosto de Tolstói. A Rússia tem, ou tinha, uma literatura de boa qualidade. Um país onde um escritor pode ser internado num hospital para doentes mentais porque escreveu algo contra o governo não pode ter uma literatura importante. Os Estados Unidos tem um dos maiores dramaturgos do século 20, Eugene O’Neill. Também tem Faulkner e Hemingway. Da França, eu gosto de Gide, Albert Camus e alguns outros. Não suporto Sartre. Ele traiu a condição de escritor quando virou político. Não me entusiasmo muito com Borges. Hoje em dia, eu estou na fase de ler os clássicos de novo. Um livro bom é sempre novo.
    –  Nelson Rodrigues, em entrevista a Tom Murphy - 1980

  4. Bertrand Russell on the Ten Commandments of Teaching →

    nevver:

    1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
    2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
    3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
    4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
    5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
    6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
    7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
    8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
    9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
    10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

  9. nevver: “I despise modern music. Words cannot express how much it gets on my nerves – the false, pretentious, smug assertiveness of it. I hate business, having to deal with money. Money is one of the most hateful inventions of the human race. I hate the commodity culture, in which everything is bought and sold. No stone is left unturned. I hate the mass media, and how passively people suck up to it.” — R. Crumb
