   • 2013, Carlos Sérgio Rodrigues, Anamnesis, Leya, →ISBN, pages 30–31:

     Um vulto encontrava-se dentro do carro. Daquela distância, Diana tentou perceber quem seria a companhia — nos dedos da catraia não brilhava nenhum anel de ouro, por isso seria namorado, acompanhante, amigo colorido, ou outras novidades que os miúdos inventam. Nas casas dos quarenta já nada nos espanta, nem apoquenta. A surpresa vem com a juventude e com a velhice chega a reflexão. No entretanto, sobeja a apatia.
