Ah living is so uncomfortable. Everything pinches: the body demands, the spirit doesn’t stop, living is like being tired and not being able to sleep—living is bothersome. You can’t walk naked either in body or in spirit.

Hands down my favorite Lispector. A beautiful meditation on the nature of existing.

I think I need to reread this at a slower pace, but still the writing is so poetic and she was able to capture a lot of feelings about life/death/love that I have had.
