Anaïs Nin

"I don't hear your words: your voice reverberates against my body like another kind of caress, another kind of penetration".

"I might have been a faithful wife (...)but my temperament belongs to the writer, not to the woman. (...)Subtract the overintensity, the sizzling ideas, and you get a woman who loves perfection. And faithfulness is one of the perfections. It seems stupid and unintelligent to me now because I have bigger plans in mind. Perfection is static, and I am in full progress. The faithful wife is only one phase, one moment, one condition.".

(Anaïs Nin. Henry and June)
