Quotes from Camilo Castelo Branco

Happiness is within us;
it is not reflected in the judgments of others.

(From Camilo Castelo Branco's "The Archdeacon's Granddaughter")


The language of friendship
is the easiest of all.

(poetry or Money? by Camilo Castelo Branco)


Delicious impressions
are never forgotten.

(from Camilo Castelo Branco's "The Regicide's Daughter")


Mischief is like lupin beans:
if you eat one, you'll eat a hundred.
If you've done the first one,
it's perfectly logical that you'll do ten in a row.

(From The Martyr's Skull, by Camilo Castelo Branco)


Your longing remains
where you leave your heart.

(From The Portrait of Ricardina by Camilo Castelo Branco)


To repair,
when the heart repairs more than judgment,
it is love.

(From Two Hours of Reading by Camilo Castelo Branco)


Finally, there was the coffee.
The slices were toasted right there on the stove.
His Majesty spread them with national butter
- he preferred the butter from his country, like veal,
and pork loin in Portuguese salpicão, and pig's foot in Portuguese tripe
- everything from his country. What a king, what a patriot!

(From A brasleira de Prazins by Camil Castelo Branco)


When the heart is stronger than the head,
my little friend,
a lot of nonsense is accomplished.

(From Camilo Castelo Branco's Memoirs of Prison)


He who eats French food
creates a soul;
it's the body that doesn't.

(From The Blood of Camilo Castelo Branco)


Every stomach,
when properly regulated,
produces a genius.

(From Heart, Head, and Stomach by Camilo Castelo Branco)


To live is to yearn for happiness,
both possible and impossible.

(From The Last Act, by Camilo Castelo Branco)


A true friend is not the guest
we receive in our home, who sits at our table,
and wraps in our sheets.
A true friend is the confidant we welcome into our hearts.
These are very rare.

(from The Black Book of Father Dinis, by Camil Castelo Branco)
