We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage People living deeply have no fear of death.

Image
I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease.

My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles. I weep when I find others play them for me. My real self is unknown. My work is merely an essence of this vast and deep adventure.

I will not be just a tourist in a world of images.

Image
Perhaps a child, like a cat, is so much inside of himself that he does not see himself in the mirror.
Anais Nin
Image
I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.

Image
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin
Image
What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.

I did not feel drawn to huxley. He was beautiful physically but again without vibrations or sensory antennae... and I had a painful impression of a psychic blindness. With all his science and knowledge, in the mystic world he blundered.

Our love of each other was like two long shadows kissing without hope of reality.
