“Apesar de André Breton [...] lhe ter dito que ela era uma surrealiste, ela não abandonou o seu estilo para seguir os métodos daquela escola. [...] Bastante liberta, também, dos símbolos e da filosofia freudiana que obcecava os pintores oficiais surrealistas, o dela é uma espécie de surrealismo , que ela inventou. [...] Enquanto o surrealismo oficial se preocupa sobretudo com as informações dos sonhos, pesadelos e símbolos neuróticos, na variante de Madame Rivera predominam a inteligência e o humor.”

“Here is Lady Winchilsea, for example, (...) She was born in the year 1661; she was noble by birth and by marriage; she was childless; she wrote poetry, and one has only to open her poetry to find her bursting out in indignation against the position of women. (...) The human race is split up for her into two parties. Men are the 'opposing faction'; men are hated and feared, because they have the power to bar her way to what she wants to do - which is to write. Alas! a woman that attempts the pen, Such a presumptuous creature is esteemed, The fault can by no virtue be redeemed. They tell us we mistake our sex and way; Good breeding, fshion, dancing, dressing, play, Are the accomplishments we should desire; To write, or read, or think, or to inquire, Would cloud our beauty , and exhaust our time, And interrupt the conquests of our prime, Whilst the dull manage of a servile house Is held by some our utmost art and use. (...) A Room of One's Own Chapter 4”

“Plato forbids children wine till eighteen years of age, and to get drunk till forty; but, after forty, gives them leave to please themselves, and to mix a little liberally in their feasts the influence of Dionysos, that good deity who restores to younger men their gaiety and to old men their youth...fit to inspire old men with mettle to divert themselves in dancing and music; things of great use, and that they dare not attempt when sober.”
