The one who travels like a lover searching for a new passion is suddenly blessed with new eyes, new ears, new senses.
Anais NinI know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love.
Anais NinIt is difficult to live with the pure. They do not condemn you; they forgive you. This forgiveness is more terrible than a judgment.
Anais NinIn every relationship, sooner or later, there is a court scene. Accusations, counter-accusations, a trial, a verdict.
Anais NinWhy one writes is a question I can answer easily, having so often asked it of myself. I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live. I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me - the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.
