“Reality Doesn’t Impress Me.”

Quotes Clothing — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 20:01:28 +0000

My dear,

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.

Reality doesn’t impress me.

I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

Falsely yours,
Anaïs Nin

“Love Never Dies A Natural Death.”

My dear,

It dies because we don’t know how to replenish it’s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

Falsely yours,
Anais Nin

“We Do Not Grow Absolutely, Chronologically. We Grow Sometimes In One Dimension, And Not In Another; Unevenly.”

Quotes Clothing — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 20:01:04 +0000

My dear,

We do not grow whole, that is a lie.

We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

We do not grow whole, that is a lie.

Falsely yours,
Anais Nin
