Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
Anais Nin
Image
Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me. I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

Image
Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
Anais Nin
Image
Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.
