The collector walks with blinders on he sees nothing but the prize. In fact, the acquisitive instinct is incompatible with true appreciation of beauty.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
I feel I should not be ... so at the mercy of people's regard. And yet - it is the artist's desire for communication too without the answering voice you get so numb you lose faith in your powers to communicate.

Image
I can conceive of 'falling in love' over and over again. But 'marriage,' this richness of life itself, I cannot conceive of having again - or with anyone else. In this sense 'marriage' seems to me indissoluble.

What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one's companion, forgets where one is or what one is going to do next to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads and curling blue sheets alive with letters heap up on the desk.

Failures aren't failures if you learn something from them.

Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships.
