To commit suicide is easy. To live without a god is more difficult. The drunkenness of triumph is greater than the drunkenness of sacrifice.
Anais Nin
Image
I sleep with my feet on moss carpets, my branches in the cotton of the clouds.
Anais Nin
Image
The truly faithless one is the one who makes love to only a fraction of you. And denies the rest.

Image
The self is merely the lens through which we see others and the world.

Image
Dreams are necessary to life.

Anais Nin
Image
I have this weird obsession about buying books and looking at them with a smile, even if I won't read them soon. At least they are mine now.

You must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing.

Image
If I fall asleep, it is because I am overloaded. I sleep because one hour with Henry contains five years of my life, and one phrase, one caress answers the expectations of a hundred nights. When I hear him laugh, I say, I have heard Rabelais.. And I swallow his laughter like bread and wine.

To write is to descend, to excavate, to go underground.
Anais Nin
Image
We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste. When it is finished, it is not finished, we lie still in each other's arms lulled by our love, by tenderness -- sensuality in which the whole being can participate.
Anais Nin
Image
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
Image
I can elect something I love and absorb myself in it.

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.

Our love lives because I live.

Write. Write until it stops hurting.

I only believe in fire. Life. Fire. Being myself on fire I set others on fire. Never death. Fire and life.
