Elena Ferrante
“They were more severely infected than the men, because while men were always getting furious, they calmed down in the end; women, who appeared to be silent, acquiescent, when they were angry flew into a rage that had no end.”
Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend

James Baldwin
“Confusion is a luxury which only the very, very young can possibly afford and you are not that young anymore”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Eça de Queirós
“E Luiza tinha suspirado, tinha beijado o papel devotamente! Era a primeira vez que lhe escreviam aquelas sentimentalidades, e o seu orgulho dilatava-se ao calor amoroso que saía delas, como um corpo ressequido que estira num banho tépido: sentia um acréscimo de estima por si mesma, e parecia-lhe que entrava enfim numa existência superiormente interessante, onde cada hora tinha o seu encanto diferente, cada passo conduzia a um êxtase, e a alma se cobria de um luxo radioso de sensações!”
Eça de Queirós, O Primo Basílio

Sylvia Plath
“I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely”
Sylvia Plath

Elena Ferrante
“If nothing could save us, not money, not a male body, and not even studying, we might as well destroy everything immediately.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name
