“River Phoenix was often mocked in his day. As the vegan environmentally aware actor who made careful film choices based on his personal politics, he was seen as a little wacko, an eccentric still suffering the psychological effects of growing up in the cult, Children of God. Now he seems ahead of his time. Not only that, an exemplary figure to be revered more than ever, both for his film work and his messages. […] He remains an inspiration for those of us looking for a new masculinity. This wasn’t a man set out to compromise what was in his heart and mind to fulfil any expectations of what a young man must be” — “River Phoenix remains the antidote to Toxic Masculinity”, The Book of Man, Oct 2018

““How come no one ever talks about how great River Phoenix was how he was not homophobic or a racist and love everyone. He cared about animals by becoming vegan, didn’t take life for granted. He basically took care of whole family.He was very humble and never thought he was better than anyone.Now all they talk about is how he died of an overdose but not how he lived. ””

não fui criada em águas rasas, e sempre dei mergulhos profundos

mas vou passar a noite velejando no azul esverdeado de teus venustos olhos

pedindo aos céus que desta vez eu não me afogue
