Rebecca's favorite quotes

7190
""We write in order to live life twice.""
Anais Nin

147
""Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. there is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there." "
Henry Miller

"Good things happen to those who hustle."
Anais Nin

"Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end."
Henry Miller

"Poetry is something in-between the dream and its interpretation."
Lou Andreas-Salome
