If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don`t write, because our culture has no use for it.
Anais Nin
For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!
Edward Abbey
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
William Faulkner
Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting
Aldous Huxley
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Henry Miller
