“Não, a vida nunca foi só a vida, nela há sonhos e fantasias que fazem a realidade ser o que é...”
Monteiro Lobato, Cidades Mortas

“a história da humanidade é uma pirataria que não tem fim. O mais forte, sempre que pode, depreda o mais fraco. Só quando a Justiça for uma realidade, em vez de ser um ideal, é que as coisas mudarão de rumo.”
Monteiro Lobato, Aventuras de Hans Staden

“Varia a pele, a condição, mas a alma de criança é a mesma - na princesinha e na mendiga. E para ambas é a boneca o supremo enlevo.”
Monteiro Lobato, Negrinha
