The final lesson a writer learns is that everything can nourish the writer. The dictionary, a new word, a voyage, an encounter, a talk on the street, a book, a phrase learned (Anais Nin Quotes)
The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive (Anais Nin Quotes)
When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with (Anais Nin Quotes)
