Clarice Lispector
“When I suddenly see myself in the depths of the mirror, I take fright. I can scarcely believe that I have limits, that I am outlined and defined. I feel myself to be dispersed in the atmosphere, thinking inside other creatures, living inside things beyond myself. When I suddenly see myself in the mirror, I am not startled because I find myself ugly or beautiful. I discover, in fact, that I possess another quality. When I haven't looked at myself for some time, I almost forget that I am human, I tend to forget my past, and I find myself with the same deliverance from purpose and conscience as something that is barely alive. I am also surprised to find as I gaze into the pale mirror with open eyes that there is so much in me beyond what is known, so much that remains ever silent.”
Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart

Clarice Lispector
“Danger is what makes life precious. Death is the constant danger of life.”
Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“For the whole world to vanish into thin air, or for me not to drink my tea? I say, let the world perish if I can always drink my tea.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

Robert Musil
“« Il faut dire qu’un séjour continuel dans un État bien organisé a quelque chose d’absolument fantômal ; on ne peut sortir dans la rue, boire un verre d’eau ou monter dans le tram sans toucher aux leviers subtilement équilibrés d’un gigantesque appareil de lois et de relations, les mettre en branle ou se faire maintenir par eux dans la tranquillité de son existence ; on n’en connaît qu’un très petit nombre, ceux qui pénètrent profondément dans l’intérieur et se perdent à l’autre bout dans un réseau dont aucun homme, jamais, n’a débrouillé l’ensemble ; c’est d’ailleurs pourquoi on le nie, comme le citadin nie l’air, affirmant qu’il n’est que du vide ; mais il semble que ce soit justement parce que tout ce que l’on nie, tout ce qui est incolore, inodore, insipide, sans poids et sans moeurs, comme l’eau, l’air, l’espace, l’argent et la fuite du temps, est en réalité l’essentiel que la vie prend ce caractère spectral. »”
Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities

J.M. Coetzee
“If only we could eat our sunsets, I say, we would all be full.”
J.M. Coetzee, In the Heart of the Country
