ConvicÃ§Ãµes profundas sÃ³ as tÃªm as criaturas superficiais. Os que nÃ£o reparam para as coisas quase que as veem apenas para nÃ£o esbarrar com elas, esses sÃ£o sempre da mesma opiniÃ£o, sÃ£o os Ãntegros e os coerentes. A polÃtica e a religiÃ£o gastam dessa lenha, e Ã© por isso que ardem tÃ£o mal entre a Verdade e a Vida.
