Simone Weil
“S'identifier à l'univers même. Tout ce qui est moindre que l'univers est soumis à la souffrance.

J'ai beau mourir, l'univers continu. Cela ne me console pas si je suis autre que l'univers. Mais si l'univers est à mon âme comme un autre corps, ma mort cesse d'avoir pour moi plus d'importance que celle d'un inconnu. De même les souffrances.”
Simone Weil, La pesanteur et la grace (annoté-illustré): Des citations fulgurantes

Alejandra Pizarnik
“All night I flee from someone. I lead the chase, I lead the fugue. I sing a song of mourning. Black birds over black shrouds. My brain cries.”
Alejandra Pizarnik, The Galloping Hour: French Poems

Novalis
“Philosophy is really homesickness: the urge to be at home everywhere.”
Novalis

Clarice Lispector
“All the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born. But before prehistory there was the prehistory of the prehistory and there was the never and there was the yes. It was ever so. I don’t know why, but I do know that the universe never began.
Make no mistake, I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort.”
Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star

Leonora Carrington
“The Antichrists are antichristing each other with antichristly ferocity so I must go and make peace.”
Leonora Carrington
