“I try to think the simpler thing; it’s easier that way. But then life complicates it, two minds living and thinking in the same small space. You think you’ve placed a thought or a memory so you can live with it, and then that other mind comes crowding in and knocks it down.”

“Everything could be fiercely summed up in never emitting a first scream—a first scream unleashes all the others, the first scream at birth unleashes a life, if I screamed I would awaken thousands of screaming beings who would loose upon the rooftops a chorus of screams and horror. If I screamed I would unleash the existence—the the existence of what? the existence of the world.”
― Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.
