Mieko Kawakami
“Listen, if there is a hell, we're in it. And if there's a heaven, we're already there. This is it.”
Mieko Kawakami, Heaven

Toni Morrison
“It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love ... You can't own a human being.”
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

Bernard Berenson
“A complete life may be one ending in so full identification with the non-self that there is no self to die.”
Bernard Berenson

Clarice Lispector
“Reality is the raw material, language is the way I go in search of it - and the way I do not find it. But it is from searching and not finding that what I did not know was born, and which I instantly recognise. Language is my human effort. My destiny is to search and my destiny is to return empty-handed. But - I return with the unsayable. The unsayable can only be given to me through the failure of my language. Only when the construction fails, can I obtain what I could not achieve.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

André Gide
“I like life well enough to want to live it awake”
André Gide, The Immoralist
