"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act.

It’s got to happen inside first."

"Eu sou feita de tão pouca coisa e meu equilíbrio é tão frágil, que eu preciso de um excesso de segurança para me sentir mais ou menos segura."

I love you, I stab you in the heart, I love you, I crush you with my heel. But. Then imagine, charted on the same axes, a thin line that gradually curves up from zero — everything always starts at zero — and plateaus; it oscillates slightly, but it never comes down, it never severs, it never peaks, it doesn’t run into a wall. What about that?"
