In New York the acoustics are good for laughter, for life is all external, all action, no thought, no meditation, no dreaming, no reflection, only the exuberance of action.

Image
I would like to have your sureness. I am waiting for love, the core of a woman's life. Don't wait for it, I said. Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened to me.

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.

To love and to labor is the sum of living.

Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin to see our suffering as a story, we are saved.
Anais Nin
Image
That is my essential reason for writing, not for fame, not to be celebrated after death, but to heighten and create life all around me. I also write because when I am writing I reach the high moment of fusion sought by the mystics, the poets, the lovers, a sense of communion with the universe.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Anais Nin
Image
We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.

Hollywood is a mirage factory.

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me. I escape, one way or another. No more walls.
