PALAVRAS EMPRESTADAS 85

                                 

From "Hannibal Rising" - Thomas Harris

"To remember is not always a blessing."

"I would like to remember everything."

"Then you will need a mind place, to store things in. A palace in your mind."

"Does it have to be a palace?"

"It will grow to be enormous like a palace. So it might as well be beautiful."

Mr. Jakov to Hannibal

Headmaster paused as he thought how to put it. "Comrade Lecter, I would be ... careful with Hannibal until you know him better. It might be best if he did not play with other boys until he's settled. Someone always gets hurt."

"He's not a bully?"

"It's the bullies who get injured. Hannibal does not observe the pecking order. They're always bigger and he hurts them very quickly and sometimes severely. Hannibal can be dangerous to persons larger than himself. He's fine with the little ones. Lets them tease him a little. Some of them think he's deaf as well as mute and say in front of him that he's crazy. He gives them his treats, on the rare occasions there are any treats."

Headmaster to Count Lecter

"I would not have approached you without flowers. I love you, Lady Murasaki."

Hannibal to Lady Murasaki

"My heart hops at the sight of you. You taught my heart to sing."

Hannibal to Lady Murasaki

"She is uneasy in closed places with me now; she expresses it as irritation."

Hannibal thinking about Lady Murasaki

The old man found it odd how the anger only flashed in his head now and no longer reached his heart.

Gruta's father

It is not healing to see your childhood home, but it helps you measure wether you are broken, and how and why, assuming you want to know.

Hannibal approaching his childhood home

Being attractive, Lady Murasaki was a still hunter. She (...) let the game come to her.

"I fold cranes for your soul, Hannibal. You are drawn into the dark."

"Not drawn. When I couldn't speak I was not drawn into silence, silence captured me."

Hannibal to Lady Murasaki

"Are you looking for sympathy? You'll find it in the dictionary, between shit and syphilis."

Grutas to Hannibal

"Don't you want to watch them hang? (...) That should be to your taste."

"Inspector, you will never know anything about my taste."

Hannibal to Inspector Popil

Women pick up surveillance faster than men do, as part of their survival skills, and they at once recognize desire. They also recognize its absence. She felt the change in him. Something was missing behind his eyes.
