#  Ora, a solidão, ainda vai ter de aprender muito para saber…

![“Ora, a solidão, ainda vai ter de aprender muito para saber o que isso é, Sempre vivi só, Também eu, mas a solidão não é viver só, a solidão é não sermos capazes de fazer companhia a alguém ou a alguma coisa que está dentro de nós, a solidão não é uma árvore no meio duma planície onde só ela…” quote by José Saramago](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f32/jos-saramago-208_amor_ora-a-solid-o-ainda-vai-ter-de-aprender_684935.png)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f32/jos-saramago-208_amor_ora-a-solid-o-ainda-vai-ter-de-aprender_684935.png) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f32/jos-saramago-208_amor_ora-a-solid-o-ainda-vai-ter-de-aprender_684935.png)

> ““Ora, a solidão, ainda vai ter de aprender muito para saber o que isso é, Sempre vivi só, Também eu, mas a solidão não é viver só, a solidão é não sermos capazes de fazer companhia a alguém ou a alguma coisa que está dentro de nós, a solidão não é uma árvore no meio duma planície onde só ela esteja, é a distância entre a seiva profunda e a casca, entre a folha e a raiz, Você está a tresvariar, tudo quanto menciona está ligado entre si, aí não há nenhuma solidão, Deixemos a árvore, olhe para dentro de si e veja a solidão, Como disse o outro, solitário andar por entre a gente, Pior do que isso, solitário estar onde nem nós próprios estamos.””

[José Saramago](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jos-saramago/)
