Under the gaze of Clarice Lispector, every event hatches; the ordinary opens up and shows its treasure, which is, precisely, ordinary. And suddenly like a storm — of wind, of gunfire, of teeth: life arrives.

Hélène Cixous, "Coming to Writing" and Other Essays

[readquotes]

"I follow the tortuous path of roots bursting the earth, I have a gift for passion, in the bonfire of a dry trunk I contort in the blaze. To the span of my existence I give an occult meaning that goes beyond me. I'm a concomitant being: I gather in me time past, the present and the future, the time that pulses in the tick-tock of the clocks."

— Clarice Lispector, Água Viva (The Stream of Life)
