“Garbo knew how to keep people, even those she cared about, at a safe distance. “Greta, if you had been born in the fifteenth or sixteenth century, they would have burned you at the stake,” Ludwig Berger once teased her.“You are a witch.” Her friend Jacques Feyder concurred with Berger’s assessment. “She can sense people through her finger tips, and simply by touching them bind them to her will,” he said admiringly. During the late 1920s and early 1930s, she won many friends in Hollywood with her unpretentious posture and unexpected sense of humor.”

“When I surprise myself in the depths of the mirror I get a fright. I can hardly believe that I have limits, that I am cut out and defined. I feel scattered in the air, thinking inside other beings, living in things beyond myself.” –Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart
