Ponho-me, às vezes, a olhar para o espelho e a examinar-me, feição por feição: os olhos, a boca, o modelado da fronte, a curva das pálpebras, a linha… - Florbela Espanca
" "Ponho-me, às vezes, a olhar para o espelho e a examinar-me, feição por feição: os olhos, a boca, o modelado da fronte, a curva das pálpebras, a linha da face... E esta amálgama grosseira e feia, grotesca e miserável, saberia fazer versos? Ah, não! Existe outra coisa... mas o quê? Afinal, para que pensar? Viver é não saber que se vive... Porque me não esqueço eu de viver... para viver?

Additional quotes by Florbela Espanca
Sometimes I start looking at the mirror and examining myself, feature by feature: eyes, mouth, shape of the forehead, eyelids curve, the face line... And this vulgar and hideous-looking, grotesque and miserable amalgam, would it know how to do verses? Oh, no! There is something else … but what? After all, why think? To live is to not know that one is living... Why don't I forget that I am living... to live?
