Eça de Queirós
“E Luiza tinha suspirado, tinha beijado o papel devotamente! Era a primeira vez que lhe escreviam aquelas sentimentalidades, e o seu orgulho dilatava-se ao calor amoroso que saía delas, como um corpo ressequido que estira num banho tépido: sentia um acréscimo de estima por si mesma, e parecia-lhe que entrava enfim numa existência superiormente interessante, onde cada hora tinha o seu encanto diferente, cada passo conduzia a um êxtase, e a alma se cobria de um luxo radioso de sensações!”
Eça de Queirós, O Primo Basílio

Elena Ferrante
“Become. It was a verb that had always obsessed me...I wanted to become, even though I had never known what. And I had become, that was certain, but without an object, without a real passion, without a determined ambition.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Sylvia Plath
“I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely”
Sylvia Plath

James Baldwin
“Confusion is a luxury which only the very, very young can possibly afford and you are not that young anymore”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Elena Ferrante
“If nothing could save us, not money, not a male body, and not even studying, we might as well destroy everything immediately.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name
