“I’m restless and harsh and despairing. Although I do have love inside me. I just don’t know how to use love. Sometimes it tears at my flesh, like barbs.

“You don't understand music: you hear it. So hear me with your whole body.”

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

― Clarice Lispector, The Stream of Life
