Jorge Amado Quotes

I have already told you Father, more than once: I’m not going to subject myself to a husband chosen for me, I’m not going to bury myself in some planter’s kitchen, and I’m not going to be a servant to some doctor or lawyer in Ilhus. I want to live my own life. When I finish school at the end of the year, I want to go to work in an office

Jorge Amado
