Henry Miller
“...what we have brought to perfection, in our zeal to escape the true reality, is a complete arsenal of destruction; when we have rid ourselves of the suicidal mania for a beyond we shall begin the life of here and now which is reality and which is sufficient unto itself. We shall have no need for art or religion because we shall be in ourselves a work of art...this is the way in which man will overcome his broken state.”
Henry Miller, The Wisdom of the Heart

Clarice Lispector
“É incômodo ser dois: eu para mim e eu para os outros.”
Clarice Lispector, Um Sopro de Vida

Pedro Almodóvar
“No existe soledad mayor que la de no sentirte acompañado por tu propia imagen. El testimonio de los demás no basta, ni siquiera el de los seres queridos. Al no poder contemplar mi propio rostro llegué a pensar que carecía de él. Estaba seguro de que, si Dios existía, pertenecía a la familia de los Espejos y, por alguna razón que se me escapaba, le gustaba negar nuestra existencia.”
Pedro Almodóvar, El último sueño

Siegfried Kracauer
“We must rid ourselves of the delusion that it is the major events which have the most decisive influence on us. We are much more deeply and continuously influenced by the tiny catastrophes that make up daily life.”
Siegfried Kracauer, The Mass Ornament: Weimar Essays

Olga Tokarczuk
“Każdy z nas siedzi okrakiem na granicy między własnym światem wewnętrznym a światem zewnętrznym i niebezpiecznie balansuje. To bardzo niewygodna pozycja i niewielu udaje się utrzymać równowagę.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Empuzjon
