Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Image
You marry the day you realize the human defects of your love.
Anais Nin
Image
I cheat him, I deceive him, yet the world does not sink in sulphur-colored mists. Madness conquers. I can no longer put my mosaics together. I just cry and laugh.
Anais Nin
Image
I sleep with my feet on moss carpets, my branches in the cotton of the clouds.
