Clarice Lispector
Love is now, is always. All that is missing is the coup de grâce- which is called passion.
Clarice Lispector
I hear the mad song of a little bird and crush butterflies between my fingers.
Clarice Lispector

I write and that way rid myself of me and then at last I can rest.
Clarice Lispector
And now -- now it only remains for me to light a cigarette and go home. Dear God, only now am I remembering that people die. Does that include me? Don't forget, in the meantime, that this is the season for strawberries. Yes.
