“Viver é…Viver é uma peripécia. Um dever, um afazer, um prazer, um susto, uma cambalhota. Entre o ânimo e o desânimo, um entusiasmo ora doce, ora dinâmico e agressivo. 
Viver não é cumprir nenhum destino, não é ser empurrado ou rasteirado pela sorte. Ou pelo azar. Ou por Deus, que também tem a sua vida. Viver é ter fome. Fome de tudo. De aventura e de amor, de sucesso e de comemoração de cada um dos dias que se podem partilhar com os outros. Viver é não estar quieto, nem conformado, nem ficar ansiosamente à espera. 
Viver é romper, rasgar, repetir com criatividade. A vida não é fácil, nem justa, e não dá para a comparar a nossa com a de ninguém. De um dia para o outro ela muda, muda-nos, faz-nos ver e sentir o que não víamos nem sentíamos antes e, possivelmente, o que não veremos nem sentiremos mais tarde. 
Viver é observar, fixar, transformar. Experimentar mudanças. E ensinar, acompanhar, aprendendo sempre. A vida é uma sala de aula onde todos somos professores, onde todos somos alunos. Viver é sempre uma ocasião especial. Uma dádiva de nós para nós mesmos. Os milagres que nos acontecem têm sempre uma impressão digital. A vida é um espaço e um tempo maravilhosos mas não se contenta com a contemplação. Ela exige reflexão. E exige soluções. 
A vida é exigente porque é generosa. É dura porque é terna. É amarga porque é doce. É ela que nos coloca as perguntas, cabendo-nos a nós encontrar as respostas. Mas nada disso é um jogo. A vida é a mais séria das coisas divertidas.
