Slavoj Žižek
“Word is murder of a thing, not only in the elementary sense of implying its absence - by naming a thing, we treat it as absent, as dead, although it is still present - but above all in the sense of its radical dissection: the word 'quarters' the thing, it tears it out of the embedment in its concrete context, it treats its component parts as entities with an autonomous existence: we speak about color, form, shape, etc., as if they possessed self-sufficient being.”
Slavoj Žižek, Enjoy Your Symptom!: Jacques Lacan in Hollywood and Out

Clarice Lispector
“The world's continual breathing is what we hear and call silence.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Walt Whitman
“Whoever you are holding me now in hand,
Without one thing all will be useless,
I give you fair warning before you attempt me further,
I am not what you supposed, but far different."


-from "Whoever You Are Holding Me Now in Hand”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

Clarice Lispector
“She believed in angels, and, because she believed, they existed”
Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star

Clarice Lispector
“I want the following word: splendor, splendor is fruit in all its succulence, fruit without sadness. I want vast distances. My savage intuition of myself.”
Clarice Lispector, The Stream of Life
