Anais Nin
Quotations

Art is the method of levitation, in order to separate one's self from enslavement by the earth.

The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive.
The preoccupation of the novelist: how to capture the living moments, was answered by the diary. You write while you are alive. You do not preserve them in alcohol until the moment you are ready to write about them.

We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.
