Clarice Lispector Quotes

I Shall Need To Courage To Do What I'm About To Do: Speak. And Risk The Enormous Surprise I Shall Feel At The Poverty Of The Spoken Thing. As Soon As It's Out Of My Mouth, I'll Have To Add: That's Not It, That's Not It! But I Cannot Be Afraid Of Being Ridiculous, I Always Preferred Less To More Also Out Of Fear Of The Ridiculous: Because There's Also The Shattering Of Modesty. I'm Putting Off Having To Speak To Myself. Out Of Fear? And Because I Don't Have A Word To Say. I Don't Have A Word To Say. So Why Don't I Shut Up? But If I Do Not Force Out The Word Muteness Will Swallow Me Forever In Waves.
