Anais Nin
Image
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
Anais Nin
Image
The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive.
Anais Nin
Image
The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.
Anais Nin
Image
