Anais Nin
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
My diary seems to keep me whole.
Anais Nin
We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.
