“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

“I have always been tormented by the image of multiplicity of selves. Some days I call it richness, and other days I see it as a disease, a proliferation as dangerous as cancer. My first concept about people around me was that all of them were coordinated into a WHOLE, whereas I was made up of multiple selves, of fragments. I know that I was upset as a child to discover that we had only one life. It seems to me that I wanted to compensate for this by multiplying experience. Or perhaps it always seems like this when you follow all your impulses and they take you in different directions. In any case, when I was happy, always at the beginning of a love, euphoric, I felt I was gifted for living many lives fully. It was only when I was in trouble, lost in a maze, stifled by complications and paradoxes that I was haunted or that I spoke of my "madness," but I meant the madness of the poets.”

It's not that I don't like these quotes, Rod, but that I 'am' them. They're so clearly true to me I couldn't have known until, as Nin points out, their "arrival," and not before. As a thank you I'll leave you with a visit from Victor Hugo: "There are moments when, whatever the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees."
