Albert Camus
“Art is the activity that exalts and denies simultaneously. "No artist tolerates reality," says Nietzsche. That
is true, but no artist can get along without reality. Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of
the world. But it rejects the world on account of what it lacks and in the name of what it sometimes is.
Rebellion can be observed here in its pure state and in its original complexities. Thus art should give us a
final perspective on the content of rebellion.”
Albert Camus, The Rebel

Clarice Lispector
“—————— I’m searching, I’m searching. I’m trying to understand. Trying to give what I’ve lived to somebody else and I don’t know to whom, but I don’t want to keep what I lived. I don’t know what to do with what I lived, I’m afraid of that profound disorder. I don’t trust what happened to me. Did something happen to me that I, because I didn’t know how to live it, lived as something else? That’s what I’d like to call disorganization, and I’d have the confidence to venture on, because I would know where to return afterward: to the previous organization. I’d rather call it disorganization because I don’t want to confirm myself in what I lived — in the confirmation of me I would lose the world as I had it, and I know I don’t have the fortitude for another.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Amanda Lovelace
“repeat after me:
you owe
no one
your forgiveness.

- except maybe yourself.”
Amanda Lovelace, The Princess Saves Herself in This One

Thomas  Harris
“Don't think you can persuade me with appeals to my intellectual vanity.”
Thomas Harris, Red Dragon

Georges Bataille
“A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism.”
