Anaïs Nin
“She was now afraid to yield to passion, and because she could not yield to the larger impulses it became essential also to not yield to the small ones, even if her adversary were in the right. She was living on a plane of war. The bigger resistance to the flow of life became one with the smaller resistance to the will of others, and the smallest issue became equal to the ultimate one. The pleasure of yielding on a level of passion being unknown to her, the pleasure of yielding on other levels became equally impossible. She denied herself all the sources of feminine pleasure: of being invaded, of being conquered. In war, conquest was imperative. No approach from the enemy could be interpreted as anything but a threat. She could not see that the real issue of the war was a defense of her being against the invasion of passion. Her enemy was the lover who might possess her. All her intensity was poured into the small battles; to win in the choice of a restaurant, of a movie, of visitors, in opinions, in analysis of people, to win in all the small rivalries through an evening.”
Anaïs Nin, Ladders to Fire

Jane Bowles
“I am so wily and feminine that I could live by your side for a lifetime and deceive you afresh each day.”
Jane Bowles

Anaïs Nin
“I suffered from other kinds of pangs. I was prone to the most excessive dreaming, of such intensity and realism that when I awakened I felt I lost an entire universe of legends, myths, figures and cities of such color that they made our room seem a thousand times more bare, the poverty of the table more acute.”
Anaïs Nin, Ladders to Fire

Morrissey
“I shake like a ship in a storm. It is a fact that even warming moments overwhelm me with despair, and this is why I am I.”
Morrissey, Autobiography

Clarice Lispector
“On Sundays she got up early in order to have more time to do nothing.”
Clarice Lispector
