“Getting attached, to me they were like tattoos, everything and every detail present and intact, everyone I’d loved and liked was still with me.”

“I am a well of gestures never made, of words never thought or spoken, of dreams I forgot to dream until the end.”

“If there is an explanation of the mystery, it is this: the love between women is a refuge and an escape into harmony and narcissism in place of conflict. In the love between a man and woman there is resistance and conflict. Two women do not judge each other. They form an alliance. It is, in a way, self-love.”
― The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

“I hide behind the door, so that when Reality comes in, it won't see me. I hide under the table and suddenly spring out to startle Possibility. I withdraw from myself, as if from the arms of an embrace, the two great tediums that encircle me - the tedium of being able to live only the Real, and the tedium of being able to imagine only the Possible.
Thus I triumph over reality. Are these sandcastles my triumph? Of what divine substances are castles that are not sandcastles made?
How do you know that, by traveling in this way, I am not obscurely rejuvenating myself?
Childishly absurd, I relive my boyhood and play with the ideas of things as I once played with my toy soldiers, with which, as a boy, I did things that went totally against the very idea of soldiers.
Drunk on errors, I momentarily find myself erroneously alive.”

“And now-now all I can do is light a cigarette and go home. My God, I just remembered that we die. But-but me too?! Don't forge that for now it's strawberry season. Yes.”
