I feel a first freedom seizing me little by little. . . . Since until today I never had so little fear of lacking good taste [...] For now the first timid pleasure I am having is realizing I lost my fear of ugliness. And that loss is such goodness. It is a sweetness. I want to know what else, in losing, I gained. I don’t know yet: only by reliving myself shall I live.
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G. H.

"I am being joyful in this very instant because I refuse to be defeated: so I love. As an answer. Impersonal love, it love, is love: even the love that doesn't work out, even the love that ends."
