Goliarda Sapienza
“Le mal réside dans les mots que la tradition a voulu absolus, dans les significations dénaturées que les mots continuent à revêtir. Le mot amour mentait, exactement comme le mot mort. Beaucoup de mots mentaient, ils mentaient presque tous. Voilà ce que je devais faire : étudier les mots exactement comme on étudie les plantes, les animaux... Et puis, les nettoyer de la moisissure, les délivrer des incrustations de siècle de tradition, en inventer de nouveaux, et surtout écarter pour ne plus m'en servir ceux que l'usage quotidien emploie avec le plus de fréquence, les plus pourris, comme : sublime, devoir, tradition, abnégation, humilité, âme, pudeur, cœur, héroïsme, sentiment, piété, sacrifice, résignation.”
Goliarda Sapienza, L'arte della gioia

Amal El-Mohtar
“I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. Flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call Cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction.I want to fix you a bouquet of them, gathered across eight hundred thousand years, so you can draw our whole engagement in a single breath, all the ages we’ve shaped together.”
Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

Audre Lorde
“(...) J’ai léché les lèvres d’une louve, la colère, et je m’en suis servie pour illuminer, rire, protéger, mettre le feu en des lieux où il n’y avait ni lumière, ni nourriture, ni sœurs, en des lieux sans merci. (...)”
Audre Lorde, The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism

Goliarda Sapienza
“E vedo il mio cuore. Occhio e centro, orologio e valvola del mio spazio carnale.”
Goliarda Sapienza, L'arte della gioia

Virginia Woolf
“I will not be "famous," "great." I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.”
Virginia Woolf, A Writer's Diary
