It caused me to reflect on my age, my history and all that I've been through in Brazil. Having been away from Brazil for so long, while not speaking in my own tongue, when I saw that image, I felt like I was taking my first deep breath after nearly suffocating to death. It was like the plastic had been removed from my head. Even if this breath turned out to be my last, at least I got to have this one moment of release. At least I got this one chance.” [Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/sonia-braga/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
