From The Diary of Anaïs Nin
Anaïs Nin's writings, and in particuliar, her diaries, letters and other personal
writings have had a great affect on me for many years. They continue to do so. She
is one of the most amazing authors I have ever read.
From Still Life With Woodpecker
Tom Robbins is another amazing author. He renders provocative ideas with long elegant diatribes.
Which makes typing quotes in long and painful. But it's worth it. A lot of recent questions I've
been asking myself have been reflected in this book and Jitterbug Perfume.
From Fear of Flying
Erica Jong just has some really sharp insights into love and life. Besides being a
very liberating book, Fear of Flying has a couple of really cool quotes.
From Beautiful Losers
This selection from Leonard Cohen's book Beautiful Losers contains one slice of
the history of the world in a few paragraphs expressed so poetically, someone made
it into a song.
From Weaveworld
Another one of those profound little quotes wrapped into the sheets of fiction. Clive
Barker has always impressed me as someone with incredible insight, who walks on that
other side of life.
The Promise...
From a rave flier. This never inspired me so much as reminded me of a time when
I was young and alone and outcast and wanted to believe something similar. There is
truth in everything though and this does harmonize with some.
