Quotation of the day
"Note how democratic is the earth. Today a respectable married
couple sleeps on the same bit of ground that yesterday suffered a
couple living in sin. Tomorrow a priest may sleep there, then a
murderer, then a blacksmith, then a poet; and, like shipwrecked
persons whose lifeboat has delivered them safely to shore, they
will bless this bit of ground, for it gives them the illusion of
security.."
Machado de Assis, Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas [The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas]
