“I want to love, to love heedlessly!
To love for the sake of loving: Here…there…
This one, that other and everyone…
To love! To love! And love no one!
[…]
He who loves someone and says that love’s fire
Can last a lifetime is nothing but a liar!”

Florbela Espanca (1894–1930) Portuguese poet

Eu quero amar, amar perdidamente!
Amar só por amar: aqui... além...
Mais Este e Aquele, o Outro e toda a gente...
Amar! Amar! E não amar ninguém!
[...]
Quem disser que se pode amar alguém
Durante a vida inteira é porque mente!
Citações e Pensamentos de Florbela Espanca (2012), p. 110
Translated by John D. Godinho
