insira aqui o meme "e murrerram todox" em português de portugal.
Fiquei curiosa pra saber o que o padre resolveu fazer de sua eternidade; Ben e Mark podem ter sobrevivido, mas COM CERTEZA ficaram completamente abublé das ideia. E por fim, queria deixar aqui registrado que #SomosTodosParkins, o veio viu que a situação estava caótica, não queria saber o motivo, tinha raiva de quem sabia (brincadeira), pegou seus paninho de bunda e deu no pé pra poupar o próprio pescocinho... kingo da sobrevivência!

  • There is no group therapy or psychiatry or community social services for the child who must cope with the thing under the bed or in the cellar every night, the thing which leers and capers and threatens just beyond the point where vision will reach. The same lonely battle must be fought night after night and the only cure is the eventual ossification of the imaginary faculties, and this is called adulthood.

  • Ben smiled back, 'Mark Twain said a novel was a confession to everything by a man who had never done anything.

  • Only library books speak with such wordless eloquence of the power good stories hold over us, how good stories abide, unchanged and mutely wise.

  • there may be some truth in that idea that houses absorb the emotions that are spent in them.

  • No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill house, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within;... silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill house and whatever walked there, walked alone. -Shirley Jackson
