Quote by Ferreira Gullar: “To live is to be forever in process, never finished, always transforming.”

Gullar observes that life is not a static state but a continuous journey of change and evolution. We are always becoming, adapting, and growing, never reaching a fixed endpoint.

After returning from exile following the end of Brazil's military dictatorship, Gullar's work often explored themes of identity, memory, and the ongoing process of personal and national reconstruction.
