i am nothing in my soul if not obsessive

[askyea-poesy]

Words bother me. I think it is why I am a poet. I keep trying to force myself to speak of the things that remain mute inside. My poems only come when I have almost lost the ability to utter a word. To speak, in a way, of the unspeakable. To make an object out of the chaos... To say what? A final cry into the void.

Anne Sexton

Eu nunca fui livre na minha vida inteira. Por dentro eu sempre me persegui. Eu me tornei intolerável para mim mesma. Vivo numa dualidade dilacerante. Eu tenho uma aparente liberdade mas estou presa dentro de mim.

— Clarice Lispector, Um Sopro de Vida.

When I was a child, when I was an adolescent, books saved me from despair: that convinced me that culture was the highest of values, and it is impossible for me to examine this conviction with an objective eye.

— The Woman Destroyed, Simone de Beauvoir.
