O LEITOR ATENTO tem quatro estômagos no cérebro, e por eles faz passar e repassar os atos e fatos, até que deduz a verdade que estava, ou parecia estar, escondida. Machado de Assis, Esaú e Jacó, cap. 55
English version by Mariangela Pedro:
THE MINDFUL READER has four stomachs in the brain, and through them acts and facts are processed and reprocessed until that reader realizes the truth that had been - or seemed to have been - hidden.
