MATTOSO, José – Levantar o céu: os labirintos da sabedoria. Lisboa: Temas e Debates: Círculo de Leitores, 2012. ISBN 978-989-644-189-0

“It’s good to believe that it’s worth to ‘lift Heaven’, and remind ourselves that we are not alone. Fortunately, there are many women and men in this world trying to work together to maintain contact between Heaven and Earth. That's the way that wisdom teaches us to travel in to find the exit out of the maze in which life sets us. The texts gathered here were written for a variety of requests, to which I tried to answer to the extent of my abilities and according to my personal beliefs. Some are more ‘civic’, others more spiritual; some inspired by common sense, others in the Gospel; some turn to History, others to timeless principles. Whatever the language and thought that inspires them, they all intend to contribute something to ‘lift Heaven’" [Freely translated to English].
