Anais Nin
Image
The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom. We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Anais Nin
Image
Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate. I hate murderously.

The suppression of inner patterns in favor of patterns created by society is dangerous to us.
Anais Nin
Image
Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.
Anais Nin
Image
The monster I kill every day is the monster of realism. The monster who attacks me every day is destruction. Out of the duel comes the transformation. I turn destruction into creation over and over again.
Anais Nin
Image
The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human, as man who created a child and then, by his absence, left the child fatherless and then Godless.
