My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I canโt be loved as I am.
Anais NinAll of my creation is an effort to weave a web of connection with the world: I am always weaving it because it was once broken.
Anais NinI am like a snake who has already bitten. I retreat from a direct battle while knowing the slow effect of the poison.
Anais NinI love her for what she has dared to be, for her hardness, her cruelty, her egoism, her perverseness, her demoniac destructiveness. She would crush me to ashes without hesitation. She is a personality created to the limit. I worship her courage to hurt, and I am willing to be sacrificed to it. She will add the sum of me to her. She will be June plus all that I contain.
