Felipe Preuss

“Whenever I started doing something you didn't like and you threatened me with the prospect of failure, my reverence for your opinion was so great that failure was, even if only at a later time, inevitable. I lost confidence in my own abilities. I was unsteady, doubtful. The older I got, the more material you could hold against me as proof of my worthlessness; gradually, in a certain regard, you began actually to be right.”
― Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father

“Nada existe de mais difícil do que entregar-se ao instante. Esta dificuldade é dor humana.”
― Clarice Lispector, The Stream of Life

“A feiura é o meu estandarte de guerra. Eu amo o feio com um amor de igual para igual.”
― Clarice Lispector, Água Viva

“Who hasn't ever wondered: am I monster or is this what it means to be a person?”
― Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star
