"I think that what I do now is what I couldn't do in my childhood. I do another kind of mischief. When I was a child, I was supposed to jump over my neighbor's wall to pick guava. But there was no neighbor. Instead of mischief, I played alone. I would pretend that a rock was a lizard. That a can was a ship. That a corncob was an ox. I was a little being who didn't feel well, like a baby grasshopper. I grew up playing on the ground, among ants. I had a free childhood without comparisons. I had more communion with things than comparisons."
Manoel de Barros
