I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me.

I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy.
Anais Nin
Image
I often see how you sob over what you destroy, how you want to stop and just worship and you do stop, and then a moment later you are at it again with a knife, like a surgeon.

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