I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness.
Anais Nin
Image
Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.
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.
Anais Nin
Image
Eroticism is one of the basic means of self-knowledge, as indispensable as poetry.
Anais Nin
Image
The self is merely the lens through which we see others and the world.

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.
