“Sometimes, even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you.”
― Emily Henry, Book Lovers

“What am I in this instant? I am a typewriter making the dry keys echo in the dark and humid early hours. For a long time I haven't been people. They wanted me to be an object. I'm an object. An object dirty with blood. That creates other objects and the typewriter creates all of us. It demands. The mechanism demands and demands my life. But I don't obey totally: if I must be an object let it be an object that screams.”
― Clarice Lispector, Água Viva

“that’s what made me fall in love with reading: the instant floating sensation, the dissolution of real-world problems, every worry suddenly safely on the other side of some metaphysical surface.”
― Emily Henry, Book Lovers

“Mas é a mim que caberá impedir-me de dar nome à coisa. O nome é um acréscimo e impede o contato com a coisa. O nome da coisa é um intervalo para a coisa. A vontade do acréscimo é grande — porque a coisa nua é tão tediosa”
― Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.
