Anaïs Nin
“At sixteen Sabina took moon baths, first of all because everyone else took sun baths, and second, she admitted, because she had been told it was dangerous. The effect of moon baths was unknown, but it was intimated that it might be the opposite of the sun’s effect. The first time she exposed herself she was frightened. What would the consequences be?”
Anaïs Nin, A Spy in the House of Love

Rainer Maria Rilke
“If my devils are to leave me, I am afraid my angels will take flight as well.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Sylvia Plath
“The reason I hadn't washed my clothes or my hair was because it seemed so silly. I saw the day of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue. It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it. I wanted to do everything once and for all and be done with it.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Anaïs Nin
“I get furious at stairways, furious at doors, at
walls, furious at everyday life which interferes with the continuity of
ecstasy.”
Anaïs Nin, House of Incest

“Never presume that I will not act on my worst instincts.”
Cesare Borgia
