Passions According to G.H - Clarice Lispector
I finished it! The book that was causing tremendous confusion. The book I felt had no end - ended and it did it in a way that confirms my love for philosophy. I yearn for books that may be feel confused, vocal and debating wether it makes sense. I took for this book like I took from the rest a great appreciation for the world around me. I took the being vs living, the idea of oneself vs reality. I took what I think she wanted to us to take which is the life ling question of, "Who are we? Who do we want to be? What of us is society vs self?".
I am proud that I finished the books so I will end with my usual quote and a quote from Ms. Lispector herself.
Be kind to yourself and others.
"I climb high enough to be able to fall, I choose. I tremble and give up, and finally dedicating myself to my fall, depersonalization, without a voice of my own, finally without me - then does everything I do not have become mine. I give up and the less I am the more I live, the more I lose my name the more they call me, my only secret mission is my condition, I give up and th less I know the password the more I fulfill the secret, the less I know the sweetness of teh abyss is my destiny. And so I adore it."
P.P.S I finish graduate school the world id my oyster and I feel fuc*ing great.
