Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no re... - Anaïs Nin

"I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often."

"We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them."

"Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together."

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."

"If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it."
