“Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“My image of others has gone through a thousand transformations, from idealization to total rejection, to re-creation and rescue of a totally new self. As I changed, my perspective changed. The theme of images. How one must struggle against this creation and invention of others, listen to them attentively, let them state their own case, weigh and balance the impressions. Otherwise this invention takes over, or projection. 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.”
― Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 6: 1955-1966
