Excerpts from Books

@trecho-de-livros / trecho-de-livros.tumblr.com

"(...) convém lembrar que ela - a literatura - não é uma experiência inofensiva, mas uma aventura que pode causar problemas psíquicos e morais, como acontece com a própria vida, da qual é imagem e transfiguração. Isto significa que ela tem papel formador de personalidade, mas não segundo as convenções; seria antes segundo a força indiscriminada e poderosa da própria realidade. Por isso, as mãos do leitor o livro pode ser fator de perturbação e mesmo de risco." CANDIDO, A., 1988
“Obinze descobrira que a tristeza não diminuía com o tempo; na verdade, era um estado volátil.”

Super disgusting! People are FUCKED UP. 

It’s racial discrimination to treat someone less polite than someone else would be treated in the same circumstances, because of race. We can’t ignore the case of blatant racism. We MUST draw public attention to such cases. We must ensure that racists are identified and socially discredited. There are no reasons or excuses for racism. It’s just disgusting.

When Suh said she would report the action to Airbnb officials, the host replied: “It’s why we have Trump.”
Suh said that comment made her painfully aware of how threatened minorities have become under the Trump administration.
“For me personally, to now have someone say something racist to me and say it’s because of Trump, it was my fears coming true,” Suh said. “That people who held these racist beliefs felt emboldened.”
The host went on to say she would “not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners.”
Suh is an American citizen who has called the U.S. home since she was 3 years old.
“If this is my experience as a light-skinned Asian woman, what is it like for people who have darker skin than me or are Muslim?” Suh wondered aloud. “What is it like for people who are undocumented or not U.S. citizens yet?”

BLESS HER FOR BEING VOCAL ABOUT THIS DO PEOPLE REALIZE HOW REAL THIS IS YET!?

Ok so i work for Airbnb. And they actually don’t fucking play with discrimination. At all. We were banning people who were going to Charlottesville for the riot. But they can’t do anything unless we are told. And the most common thing i hear is “i don’t want to start a ruckus or cause any trouble” but.. in order to prevent this stuff… we need people to. Don’t stay silent.

Reblogging again for that! ^^^^

Also apparently the host was fined $ 5,000 and was forced to attend a class on Asian Americans, as well as apologize and serve community service. Which is awesome.

acho que foi morte súbita — os vizinhos disseram.

sentiu o amor e quando não sentiu mais, morreu na hora.

o fim declamou sua própria poesia camuflada nas entrelinhas das ausências. não foi preciso pensar demais ou colocar em palavras. o fim é protagonista, chegou roubando a cena e foi impossível não notá-lo. meu amor, como poderíamos não dar atenção a este vistoso artista?

“I went up to bed early. My room was filled with the good smell of lavender, thyme and pine needles.”

Simone de Beauvoir, tr. by Justin O’Brien, from “The Woman Destroyed,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
