Things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are

Image
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made of layers, cells, constellations.

Anais Nin
Image
I needed to live, but I also needed to record what I lived.
Anais Nin
Image
She was fully, painfully aware that very rarely did midnight strike in two hearts at once, very rarely did midnight arouse two different equal desires, and that any dislocation in this, any indifference, was an indication of disunity, of the difficulties, the impossibilities of fusion between two human beings.
Anais Nin
Image
To love and to labor is the sum of living.
Anais Nin
Image
What you burnt, broke, and tore is still in my hands. I am the keeper of fragile things and I have kept of you what is indissoluble.
Anais Nin
Image
myself ... is merely an instrument to connect life and a myth
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
We see the world as 'we' are, not as 'it' is because it is the I behind the 'eye' that does the seeing.

Societies in decline have no use for visionaries.
