Antonio Gramsci
“Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.”
Antonio Gramsci

Clarice Lispector
“Around the shadow is a heat of abundant sweat. I’m alive.»
I'm alive. But I feel that I have yet to reach my limits, borders with what? ...
And madly I take control of the recesses of myself, my ravings suffocate me with so much beauty. I am before, I am almost, I am never. And all of this I won when I stopped loving you. I write to you as an exercise in sketching before painting. I see words.”
Clarice Lispector, Água Viva

Susan Sontag
“Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It's all about paying attention. attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. stay eager.”
Susan Sontag

Frank O'Hara
“For Grace, After a Party"

You do not always know what I am feeling.
Last night in the warm spring air while I was
blazing my tirade against someone who doesn’t
interest
me, it was love for you that set me
afire,

and isn’t it odd? for in rooms full of
strangers my most tender feelings
writhe and
bear the fruit of screaming. Put out your hand,
isn’t there
an ashtray, suddenly, there? beside
the bed? And someone you love enters the room
and says wouldn’t
you like the eggs a little

different today?
And when they arrive they are
just plain scrambled eggs and the warm weather
is holding.”
Frank O'Hara, The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

Clarice Lispector
“I am obscure to myself. I let myself happen. I unfold only in the now. I am rudely alive.”
Clarice Lispector, Água Viva
