I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort.

Clarice Lispector

Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian writer of Jewish descent who wrote about the complexities of life and the human experience. Her works, which include novels, short stories, and nonfiction essays, explore themes such as identity, gender roles, love, and death. She is considered one of the most important writers in Brazil’s literary history. This quote is from her novel “The Hour of the Star,” published in 1977, shortly before Lispector’s death. Lispector’s work has been translated into more than 20 languages, and her influence continues to be felt around the world.
