Anaïs Nin - Create a world
"I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me…the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself... That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art. The artist is the only one who knows that the world is a subjective creation, that there is a choice to be made, a selection of elements. It is a materialization, an incarnation of his inner world."
“Don't wait for it," I said. "Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened to me."
Nietzsche, La naissance de la tragédie
« Or l’homme doué de sensibilité artistique adopte à l’égard de la réalité du rêve la même attitude que le philosophe à l’égard de la réalité de l’existence ; il se plaît à l’observer attentivement : car à l’aide de ces images, il interprète la vie, et au fil de ces événements il s’exerce à vivre. Et ce dont il fait l’expérience avec cette intelligence universelle, ce ne sont pas seulement des images agréables et avenantes : mais c’est aussi tout ce qui est grave, trouble, triste, sombre, les empêchements soudains, les ironies du hasard, les attentes inquiètes, bref, c’est toute la « divine comédie » de la vie, sans oublier son Inferno, qui passe devant ses yeux, non pas à la façon d’un simple jeu d’ombres – car ces scènes, il les vit et en souffre – mais pas non plus cependant sans qu’il éprouve le sentiment fugace que tout cela n’est qu’apparence.»
Ed van Elsken
Paris 1959
“Ainsi nous ne sommes rien, ni toi ni moi, auprès des paroles brûlantes qui pourraient aller de moi vers toi, imprimées sur un feuillet : car je n’aurai vécu que pour les écrire, et, s’il est vrai qu’elles s’adressent à toi, tu vivras d’avoir eu la force de les entendre.”
