«No me importan las proporciones, las medidas, el ritmo del mundo ordinario. Me niego a vivir en el mundo ordinario como una mujer ordinaria. A establecer relaciones ordinarias. Necesito el éxtasis. Soy una neurótica, en el sentido de que vivo en mi mundo. No me adaptaré a el mundo. Me adapto a mí misma.» -
The important task of literature is to free man, not to censor him, and that is why Puritanism was the most destructive and evil force which ever oppressed people and their literature: it created hypocrisy, perversion, fears, sterility.
Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) Catalan-Cuban-French author, diarist

"I've met Henry Miller. I saw a man I liked ... a man who was likeable, not overbearing but strong, a human man who was sensitively aware of everything. He's a man whom life makes drunk. ... He is like me."

«El amor nunca muere de muerte natural. Se muere porque no sabemos cómo reponer su fuente. Muere de ceguera, de errores y traiciones. Se muere de enfermedades y heridas; se muere de cansancio.» -

I touched rock-crystal walls with white foaming crevices, white sponges of secret sorrows set in a lace of plant skeletons. Leaves, skins, flesh had been sucked of their juices, and the juices and sap drunk by the crevices, flowing together through the river bed of stillborn desires.

"Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts.
“We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center.
“So we lost our center and have to find it again."

Now I laugh at my fear of analysis. Most people’s possession of knowledge deprives them of the sense of wonder, but such a sense of wonder and mystery is like the savage’s fear of mysterious fire until he discovers the principle of it and the mastering of it. I say that after we know all there is to know, there is still mystery and wonder of a deeper kind.

CW: femininity & erotica
this's been on my mind for a while; months back I casually asked my wife if she knew who Anaïs Nin was & her reaction was really interesting. she said she did but in a tone that was almost shocked or mildly offended that the name had come out of my mouth. it was a fascinating interaction. my only exposure to her was through film, I'm madly in love with Maria de Medeiros & she played Nin in the fantastic biopic Henry & June.

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. 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.
