“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were. Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee”.

“Nenhum homem é uma ilha, sozinho em si mesmo; cada homem é parte do continente, parte do todo; se um seixo for levado pelo mar, a Europa fica menor, como se fosse um promontório, assim como se fosse uma parte de seus amigos ou mesmo sua; a morte de qualquer homem me diminui, porque eu sou parte da humanidade; e por isso, nunca procure saber por quem os sinos dobram, eles dobram por ti”.

John Donne, poeta inglês do século XVI

Tenho que lamber o chão
Dos palácios, dos castelos
Suntuosos do meu sonho
Tenho que me ver tristonho
Tenho que me achar medonho
E apesar de um mal tamanho
Alegrar meu coração

Gil - mais um trecho

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me, oh now now
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
Oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.

John Lennon
