Ontem fui ao centro de Amsterdão e devo ter ficado em pelo menos 20 fotografias de turistas, é que nesta altura eles são mais que as mães e é uma tarefa impossível desviarmo-nos deles.

Eu até acho que a excitação de estar em Amsterdão é tão grande para os turistas que eles nem se importam que ninguém se desvie para a fotografia, ou então estão envoltos numa névoa cerebral causada pelo haxe e já não vêem ninguém para além dos companheiros de viagem e de alguns monumentos.

"Mas abandonar a Pátria com um saco às costas?

Para poder partir teria de meter no bornal o Marão, o Douro, o Mondego, a luz de Coimbra, a biblioteca e as vogais da língua. Sou um prisioneiro irremediável numa penitenciária de valores tão entranhados na minha fisiologia que, longe deles, seria um cadáver a respirar".
