Mighty Aphrodite’s Reviews > The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 7: 1966-1974 > Status Update

What I accomplished I did by not listening to anyone.

I inspire women. I do not propagandize.

The most courageous thing to do today is to conquer ourselves from within - not blaming others.

Human beings Who reveals himself should be treated with the same care we accord to a unique discovery in science or nature.

Our human Life Is small like and igloo in the North pole, It's vulnerable like the birds I feed every day, or my dog, Who never knows when i'm coming back.

There are times when the world i created and its personages seems more vivid than the ones before me.

I am like a new woman, Born with the publication of the Diary. This new woman Is at esse in the world because whatever shyness Is left over from the past Is helped by the fact that when i enter a room or a lecture hall people know me already and they rush towards me.
