I like everyone who tries to show that madness is, in large part, conditioned by society and particularly by the family, and therefore, strongly affects women.

There is a kind of universality in the human condition, masculine or feminine. That's one thing I continue to believe.

I willingly trust myself to chance. I let my thoughts wander, I digress, not only sitting at my work, but all day long, all night even. It often happens that a sentence suddenly runs through my head before I go to bed, or when I am unable to sleep, and I get up again and write it down.

In truth we need to change the society itself, men as well as women, to change everything.

It is in great part the anxiety of being a woman that devastates the feminine body.

Literature is born when something in life goes slightly adrift.

To be a woman, if not a defect, is at least a peculiarity.
