Character: Vinicius

I saw your soul in a dream.

Hope beckons every morning, otherwise it would be impossible to live.

I think that there is another, greater and more valuable happiness that does not depend on the will, for only love can give it.

When you leave youth and beauty, when our bodies wither and death comes, love will remain, for it will remain the same soul.

The worship of Christ is not enough, we must also live according to his teachings, and then be like by the sea, which you are told to go on foot.
<...>
And let me tell you, I don't know how arranged the Christians to exist, but I know one thing: where they are teaching, there is Roman rule ends, Rome ends, life ends, the distinction between defeated and victorious, rich and poor, Lord and slave, ends, all power, ends the Emperor, the law and the whole world, and instead, Christ comes and for some mercy, some still have not been, and some kindness, alien to the people and alien to our Roman inclinations.

He looked at the people and everything else in the world only from the point of view of the ego, now also gradually accustomed to the idea that others might see differently, other heart could feel otherwise, and that justice does not always coincide with personal gain.
