Resonance
Thanks to a very special and amazing person that recently entered my life I've finally been turned on to Anaïs Nin. I'm kind of shocked that I never was exposed before. I did read Delta of Venus and enjoyed that for what it was, but never found my way from that to her diaries and such (although I did see Henry & June).

A few things that really resonated with me:

"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." November, 1933 from The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Volume One 1931-1934

"There will never be darkness because in both of us there's always movement, renewal, surprises. I have never known stagnation. Not even introspection has been a still experience..." August 1932 from Henry and June

"For me, the adventures of the mind, each inflection of thought, each movement, nuance, discovery is an immense source of exhilaration." January 20, 1934 from Incest
