“Reading is like looking through several windows which open to an infinite landscape....For me life without reading would be like being in prison, it would be as if my spirit were in a straightjacket; life would be a very dark and narrow place.”

“Tenho medo de escrever. É tão perigoso. Quem tentou, sabe. Perigo de mexer no que está oculto — e o mundo não está à tona, está oculto em suas raízes submersas em profundidades do mar. Para escrever tenho que me colocar no vazio. Neste vazio é que existo intuitivamente. Mas é um vazio terrivelmente perigoso: dele arranco sangue. Sou um escritor que tem medo da cilada das palavras: as palavras que digo escondem outras — quais? talvez as diga. Escrever é uma pedra lançada no poço fundo.”
― Clarice Lispector, Un souffle de vie
