More quotes by Clarice Lispector
I write as if to save somebody’s life. Probably my own. Life is a kind of madness that death makes. Long live the dead because we live in them.
Clarice Lispector
Love is now, is always. All that is missing is the coup de grâce- which is called passion.
Clarice Lispector
The mystery of human destiny is that we are fated, but that we have the freedom to fulfill or not fulfill our fate: realization of our fated destiny depends on us. While inhuman beings like the cockroach realize the entire cycle without going astray because they make no choices.

Clarice Lispector
I write and that way rid myself of me and then at last I can rest.
Clarice Lispector
No it is not easy to write. It is as hard as breaking rocks. Sparks and splinters fly like shattered steel.
Clarice Lispector
I' is merely one of the world's instantaneous spasms.
Clarice Lispector
Today at school I wrote an essay about Flag Day which was so beautiful, but ever so beautiful - for I even used words without really knowing what they meant.
Clarice Lispector
The only truth is that I live. Sincerely, I live. Who am I? Well, that's a bit much.
Clarice Lispector
Love is so much more deadly than I had thought, love is so much inherent as the very lack, and we are guaranteed by a need to be renewed continuously. Love is now, is forever. There is just the blow of grace - call it passion.
Clarice Lispector
So long as I have questions to which there are no answers, I shall go on writing.
Clarice Lispector
And even sadness was also something for rich people, for people who could afford it, for people who didn't have anything better to do. Sadness was a luxury.
