“Never suffer because you don't have an opinion on this or that topic. Never suffer because you are not something or because you are.”
― Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart

“How living hurt. Living was an open wound.”
― Clarice Lispector, The Complete Stories

“There was the low-toned and simple voice of the human being Djuna saying: I want love. There was the voice of the artist in Djuna saying: I will create the marvelous. Why should such wishes conflict with each other, or annihilate each other?”
― Anaïs Nin, Children of the Albatross

“Love? I wanted to go with him, to be on the stronger side, for him to spare me, like one who seeks shelter in the arms of the enemy to stay far from his arrows. It was different than love, I was finding out: I wanted him as a thirsty person desires water, without feelings, without even wanting to be happy.”
― Clarice Lispector, The Complete Stories
