Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!
"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

than the loud light of their projectors
of themselves they flicker

Lançado o site dedicado à vida e obra de Carolina Maria de Jesus: https://t.co/jRyi5KVclF! Concebido pela grandiosa Fernanda Miranda, com parceria de Jane Leite, o site nasceu por meio da exposição do IMS.
Pasmem: tem até o manuscrito que deu origem à Diário de Bitita.
Les résultats de @ClimaMeter soulignent que les inondations au #Brazil ont été intensifiées par la combustion des combustibles fossiles, et non par El Niño. Ces inondations affectent de manière disproportionnée des communautés vulnérables malgré leur faible responsabilité dans le changement climatique.
“Não é hora de apontar culpados” dizem.
Este é o @EduardoLeite_, governador do RS, defendendo a demolição do muro Mauá em Porto Alegre. Esse muro é a contenção de enchentes no Guaíba.
Esse vídeo envelheceu mal como Leite no sol!
Eduardo Leite cortou ou alterou quase 500 pontos do Código Ambiental do RS em 2019
Quando a natureza reage com inundações, vale lembrar a mutilação de uma das mais antigas leis ambientais do Brasil
