Anais Nin
Image

Anais Nin
Image
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin
Image
I hate men who are afraid of women's strength.
Anais Nin
Image
To change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one's mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use.
