"The only duty and destiny we acknowledged was that each one of us should become so completely himself, so utterly faithful to the active seed of nature within him and live in accordance with it that the unknown future should find us prepared and ready for whatever it might bring forth".
Hermann Hesse, from Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair’s Youth
"What encouraged me was the progress within myself, my increasing faith in my own dreams, thoughts and presentiments and my increasing knowledge of the power I possessed within me".
Hermann Hesse, from Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair’s Youth
"The bird is struggling out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wants to be born must destroy a world". Hermann Hesse, from Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth
"We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art--we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones."
― Anaïs Nin
I am flowing again. I have lost my fears, my anguishes. I have multiple desires, curiosities, interests. I can be everywhere. — Anaïs Nin, from Mirages: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1939-1947.
Polperro II (Cornwall) (1939) by Oskar Kokoschka
Transgress your body’s borders, shed your skin, embrace your monstrous flesh. Freed of the shackles of the vulnerable female body, I will be reborn as a woman who devours.
Rebecca Harkins-Cross, Monstrous Flesh: On Women’s Bodies in Horror
“The soul is silent. If it speaks at all it speaks in dreams.”
— Louise Gluck, from “Child Crying Out” featured in Poems: 1962 - 2020
“I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.”
— Virginia Woolf
“The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic; I never generalize, intellectualize. I see, I hear, I feel. These are my primitive instruments of discovery.”
— Anaïs Nin, from The Diary Of Anais Nin, Vol. 4: 1944-1947 (via violentwavesofemotion)
“You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
— Albert Camus
I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely.
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals
“I am fully aware and in full possession of myself. […] I have no desire to be understood, admired, pitied, or even known;”
— Simone de Beauvoir, from Diary of a Philosophy Student: Volume 1, 1926-1927; August 6th, 1926
At night, books, talk, passion.
— Anaïs Nin, Henry and June: From the Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin
“I must start to build again after this long period of anguish and despair. […] Keep silent—and have confidence in myself.”
— Albert Camus, from Notebooks 1935-1951; circa March 1936
“I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.”
— Anaïs Nin
I was not the woman who breaks into pieces under the blows of abandonment and absence, who goes mad, who dies. Only a few fragments had splintered off, for the rest I was well. I was whole, whole I would remain. To those who hurt me, I react giving back in kind. I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned.
Elena Ferrante, tr. by Ann Goldstein, from The Days of Abandonment
