Clarice Lispector
“A thousand times before this the movement must have started and then was lost.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Clarice Lispector
“I immediately figure that the hardest thing my vanity will have to face is the judgment of myself: I’ll have every appearance of a failure, and only I will know if that was the failure I needed.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Clarice Lispector
“I’d always been afraid of delirium and error. My error, however, must be the path of a truth: since only when I err do I step out of what I know and what I understand.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Clarice Lispector
“When one is one’s own nucleus, one has no more deviations. Then one is one’s own solemnity, and no longer fears consuming oneself when serving the consuming ritual — the ritual is the unfolding of the life of the nucleus, the ritual is not outside it: the ritual is inherent.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Clarice Lispector
“The mystery of human destiny is that we are inevitable, but we have the freedom to carry out or not our inevitability: it depends on us to carry out our inevitable destiny. While inhuman beings, like the roach, carry out their own complete cycle, without ever erring because they do not choose. But it depends on me to freely become whatever I inevitably am. I am the mistress of my inevitability, and, if I decide not to carry it out, I shall remain outside my specifically living nature. But if I carry out my neutral and living nucleus, then, within my species, I shall be being specifically human.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.
