The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but... - Anaïs Nin

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect."

"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."

"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."

"How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself?"
