Clarice Lispector
“Obsessed with the desire to be happy I lost my life. I moved with the tension of a bow and arrow in an unreality of desires.”
Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life

Olena Kalytiak Davis
“I thought: please don’t grow
familiar. I think I said it out loud:
Please don’t let me love you
that horrible way.”
Olena Kalytiak Davis, And Her Soul Out Of Nothing

Gilles Deleuze
“The death of a social machine has never been heralded by a disharmony or a dysfunction; on the contrary, social machines make a habit of feeding on the contradictions they give rise to, on the crises they provoke, on the anxieties they engender, and on the infernal operations they regenerate. Capitalism has learned this, and has ceased doubting itself, while even socialists have abandoned belief in the possibility of capitalism's natural death by attrition. No one has ever died from contradictions. And the more it breaks down, the more it schizophrenizes, the better it works, the American way.”
Gilles Deleuze, Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

Rainer Maria Rilke
“I’m still alive, I have time to build
My blood will outlast the rose.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Jeanette Winterson
“The poem finds the word that finds the feeling.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
