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.

More quotes by Clarice Lispector
Her curiosity instructed her more than the answers she was given.
Clarice Lispector
I work only with lost and founds.
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
All the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born. But before prehistory there was the prehistory of the prehistory and there was the never and there was the yes. It was ever so. I don’t know why, but I do know that the universe never began. Make no mistake, I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort.
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
Everything in the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born.
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.
Clarice Lispector
Whether she won or lost, she would continue to wrestle with life. It would not be with her own life alone but with all of life. Something had finally been released within her. And there it was, the sea.
Clarice Lispector
There it is, the sea, the most incomprehensible of non-human existences.
Clarice Lispector
I write to save someone's life, probably my own
Clarice Lispector
Love is now, is always. All that is missing is the coup de grâce- which is called passion.
Clarice Lispector
Ela acreditava em anjo e, porque acreditava, eles existiam | She believed in angels, and, because she believed, they existed
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
So long as I have questions to which there are no answers, I shall go on writing.
Clarice Lispector
I want the following word: splendor, splendor is fruit in all its succulence, fruit without sadness. I want vast distances. My savage intuition of myself.
Clarice Lispector
Facts and particulars annoy me.
Clarice Lispector
I just know that I don't want cheating. I refuse. I deepened myself but I don't believe in myself because my thought is invented.
Clarice Lispector
My life, the most truthful one, is unrecognizable, extremely interior, and there is no single word that gives it meaning.
Clarice Lispector
Who has not asked himself at some time or other: am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person?
Clarice Lispector
I hear the mad song of a little bird and crush butterflies between my fingers.
