“My loyalties will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation's history, or limited in the spiritual dimension by one language and culture.

― Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

“For there is only one great adventure and that is inward toward the self, and for that, time nor space nor even deeds matter.”
