Eva Baltasar
“I realize that I am smoke, that the things that define me rise as they would up a chimney, probing every crack, searching for a wellspring of light or cold... I don't mean my personality. Personality is a dress made of scraps that I never stop washing or mending; it clothes me, might even suit me, but it will never, ever define me. The nakedness I conceal is what makes me a person.”
Eva Baltasar, Boulder

Eva Baltasar
“Healthy things kill you much more slowly. They begin by convincing you of their love and making you bow to their withering intensity.”
Eva Baltasar, Permagel

Vita Sackville-West
“But, perversely, the flittering of the butterflies had always remained more important.”
Vita Sackville-West, All Passion Spent

Eva Baltasar
“Language is and always will be an occupied territory. I have the feeling I was shackled to it the moment I was born. Only language can help you belong somewhere and make sure you don’t lose your way.”
Eva Baltasar, Boulder

Jean Racine
“Un moment a vaincu mon audace imprudente :
Cette âme si superbe est enfin dépendante.
Depuis près de six mois, honteux, désespéré,
Portant partout le trait dont je suis déchiré,
Contre vous, contre moi, vainement je m’éprouve :
Présente je vous fuis, absente je vous trouve ;
Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit ;
La lumière du jour, les ombres de la nuit,
Tout retrace à mes yeux les charmes que j’évite,
Tout vous livre à l’envi le rebelle Hippolyte.”
Jean Racine, Phèdre
