Anais NinEach friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais NinI want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I donโt mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated

Anais NinIt amazes me that you feel that each time you write a story you give away one of your dreams and you feel the poorer for it. But then you have not thought that this dream is planted in others, others begin to live it too, it is shared, it is the beginning of friendship and love. How is this world made which you enjoy, the friends around me that you love? They came because I first gave away my stories.
