Amor Quote by Raymundo Faoro
““Em breve, o sociólogo e o historiador, eles também filhos da Formalidade, esquecerão o riso ácido, a zombaria sutil, o humor que sente os pólos em confronto. Então o mundo volverá à solenidade, à gravidade, irremediavelmente mergulhado no lado do qual extrairá as regras, as normas e as leis de conduta””
