"The collectivism from which the world is dying, and from which the new adventurers live, is the theory of gathering without unity; it is the attempt to find meaning in the crowd, since the meaning of each individual cannot be discovered; it is the conspiracy of those who ignore each other; the union of those who isolate themselves; the sociability founded on misunderstandings; the geometric locus of mistakes.
(...) I would like to demonstrate, if I had time, that true sociability is only possible when it has roots that descend into the depths of subjectivity. For only from these depths can true generosity spring forth. In other words, what I would like to demonstrate is that the true openings of man are within him, in the cloister, in the secret garden of his heart. This would be my banner if I could still gather the strength I dissipated in an absurd life."
— Gustavo Corção, "Lessons of the Abyss" (through the character José Maria).
