99 per cent of the world is an inert, unthinking mass, led by the nose, empty, blind, deaf and dumb, whom a few people manipulate. It’s a rather sad picture. #AnaisNin, 1964
Of course you are hurt by jealousy or envy or even lack of full appreciation. Of course you are vulnerable to people and the absence of generosity. But to live in spite of this, to love life so much, one is willing to be wounded. #AnaisNin, 1969
"Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them." #AnaisNin
