― Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

“The difference between the insane and the not-insane person is that the latter doesn't do or say the things he thinks.”
― Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life

“My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“I am only true when I’m alone.”
― Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star
