The artist is the only one who knows that the world is a subjective creation, that there is a choice to be made, a selection of elements.
Anais NinThrow your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
Anais NinWhat we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements.
