Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate. I hate murderously.
Anais Nin

I miss the animal buoyancy of New York, the animal vitality. I did not mind that it had no meaning and no depth.
Anais Nin
Image
I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don't know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness. In reality those who satisfy me are those who simply allow me to live with my ''idea of them.
