Portuguese citations of ar

• 2012, Luís Fernando Veríssimo, “Padre Alfredo”, in Diálogos Impossíveis, Editora Objetiva, →ISBN, page 27:

  — Já pensaram no que vem por aí? Uma vida inteira, juntos? As brigas, às vezes por mesquinharia? O ciuminho? Os sogros se metendo? As diferenças: filme de pancadaria ou filme romântico? Luz acesa para um ler quando o outro quer dormir? Um não podendo viver sem ar refrigerado, apesar da rinite do outro? Já pensaram?
