Dizia um professor de literatura, o Wagner Lemos (o sítio parece parado, ele deve ter migrado pro orkut, tuíter ou algo assim), que uma coivara é mais ou menos um montinho de folhas secas que vc reúne em algum ponto do quintal, e taca fogo no barato pra não ter que limpar de algum modo menos prático.
Então eu vou aproveitar que fiz uma fogueira-coivara nesse fim de semana, lá no sítio da Camila, e tacar fogo nuns emeios antigos que eu tenho na minha caixa, e vivo com pena de apagar. =D

It is called “There is no debate”
“Good for you friend, you worked hard you did the deed, and you see the fruits of your labor.
Now tell me, your father, did he invent his own number system? No?
Did he invent his own alphabet? No.
Were the laws of physics that his branch of engineering is based upon, discovered by him?
Did he invent the math system behind it? The algebra, the calculus?
No?
Well hey, at least when you published your book, you probably did so on a machine completely of your own design. Using a printing system you invented. No?
Then maybe it wasn’t all your work. Maybe, as I said, you and he are standing on the backs of the people who came before you. How much have you reserved of your profits for them and their families? Nothing?
Then perhaps you need to drink a warm cup of Shhh! and think upon your lessons grasshopper. Cause unless you and your father sprung out of Zeus’s forehead fully formed and full of the knowledge of life, you owe a lot of your success to a lot of people that you haven’t yet given shit to.”
