A review by cricket1988
Near to the Wild Heart by Clarice Lispector
5.0
This book was amazing I think every women should at least read it once in their lives, Joanna was every picture of a true women trying to find herself her purpose in life she was just trying to exist just like any other matter…
Excerpts that really made me think…
Even when he wounded her, she took refuge in him against him
I'm not so fond of myself as to like the things I like. In more in love with what I want than myself
The sick envisage the world and the healthy possess it
Man builds houses to look at not live in
The intellectual love of God' is the true knowledge and excludes any mysticism or idolatry
I am the tiny wave that has no other region except the sea
And I call out: I have lived!
She.…would slowly go away. Not to escape, but to go away
Just like that, so comforting. Not to escape, but to go away…
