Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais NinThere were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.
