| 31eb699 | When it comes to politics and women, you have to taste all the sauces, but you must never let either one or the other give you indigestion. | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | ||
| 8b5598b | You can get used to anything, especially when you have no option. If you have to pay, you pay; it's just a question of attitude. At a particular moment in your life you adopt a certain position, whether mistaken or not. You decide to be like this or that. You burn your boats, and then all you can do is defend that position, come what may. | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | ||
| 19696c0 | A century from now," he murmured as he lifted a page and examined it against the light, closing one eye, "almost all the contents of today's libraries will have disappeared. But these books, printed two hundred or even five hundred years ago, will remain intact. We have the books, and the world, that we deserve. . . . Isn't that so, Pablo?" "Lousy books printed on lousy paper." -- | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | ||
| 2dff749 | Todas las guerras son malas, pero la guerra civil es la peor de todas, pues enfrenta al amigo con el amigo, al vecino con el vecino, al hermano contra el hermano. Hace casi 80 anos, entre 1936 y 1939, en tiempos de nuestros abuelos y bisabuelos, una espantosa guerra civil tuvo lugar en Espana. Causo miles de muertos, destruyo hogares, arruino el pais y llevo a mucha gente al exilio. Para evitar que tan desoladora tragedia vuelva a repetirse.. | spanish guerra-civil pérez-reverte español españa | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | |

| 152df9a | I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. --Anais Nin | Deborah Smith | ||

| 71db98c | Ali Baba protects the lovers! Gives them the luck of bandits, and no guilt, for love fills certain people and expands them beyond all laws; there is no time, no place for regrets, hesitations, cowardices. Love runs free and reckless, and all the gentle trickeries perpetrated to protect others from its burns-those who are not the lovers but who might be the victims of this love's expansion. | books book-quotes | Anaïs Nin | |

| 5bafcd7 | Paul, Paul, this is the claim you never made, the fervor you never showed. You were so cool and light, so elusive, and I never felt you encircling me and claiming possession. Rango is saying all the words I wanted to hear you say. You never came close to me, even while taking me. You took me as men take foreign women in distant countries whose language they cannot speak. You took me in silence and strangeness. | books book-quotes | Anaïs Nin | |

| bb77326 | There are things one reads that make you aware that you have lived nothing, felt nothing, experienced nothing up to that time. How can i begin to feel - to feel? I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me. | Anaïs Nin | ||

| 43a3dbc | the discovery of each other brings a kind of peace, because it brings the certitude that we are right. We are stronger together ... we will have less doubts." This seemed deeply true, yet I wonder if it is good to ally similarities, one agreeing with the other, as twins might, so that this might give an illusion of balance, reassure us about our orientation, or whether we should seek this by contrast with others," -- | Anaïs Nin | ||
| f160293 | I gave him the one thing June cannot give him: honesty. I am so ready to admit what a supremely developed ego would not admit: that June is a terrifying and inspiring character who makes every other woman insipid, that I would live her life except for my compassion and my conscience, that she may destroy Henry the man, but Henry the writer is more enriched by ordeals than by peace. | Anaïs Nin | ||

| b5289bc | I am most deeply concerned over a trend toward conformity, a growth of anti-intellectualism, which manifests itself in a sneering attitude toward education, science, and the arts. The tendency is to stifle mental freedom, which is the very basis of a democracy's life and growth. | Anaïs Nin | ||
| a61f451 | The origin of illness may be in the past, but the virulent crisis must be dynamically tackled. I believe in attacking the core of the illness, through its present symptoms, quickly, directly. The past is a labyrinth. One does not have to step into it and move step by step through every turn and twist. The past reveals itself instantly, in today's fever or abscess of the soul. | madness past-and-present neurosis | Anaïs Nin | |
| 41d93aa | The more hunger, the greater the desires, like those of men in prison, wild and haunting. So we had here a perfect world in which to grow the flower of eroticism. Of course, if you get too hungry, too continuously, you become a bum, a tramp. | Anaïs Nin | ||

| 758c410 | The dawn! The dawn, I repeated. Henry thought it was the dawn itself which was a new experience. I could not explain what I felt. It was the first time I had not felt the compulsion to escape; it was the first time I had abandoned myself to fraternity, exchange, confessions, without feeling suddenly the need to take flight.

Dr. Allendy: 'Yes, exactly, it is a bad sign. You do not really confide in many people, then they do not know you, and then you quickly surmise they do not understand and love you. On the few people you feel connected with, you pour a lavish devotion. This must cease. In love, .. | Anaïs Nin | ||
| a5f4565 | Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. --D. H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study, pg. 20 | Anaïs Nin | ||
