“These are now the best years of my life, for I have hope. I have heaps of friendly thoughts in my head, and an immense quantity of hope, of illusions. When these things leave me, I prefer to die, and until then I will live with all my heart this glorious life, which is a strange mixture of monotonous tasks and delicious emotions, sprinkled now and then with little incidents out of the ordinary, and the realization of some sweet, tender daydream.”

— The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1920–1923

“...unfaithful to my inner promises. Like a complete outsider, a casual observer of whom I thought I was, I’ve always enjoyed watching my daydreams go down in defeat. I was never convinced of what I believed in. I filled my hands with sand, called it gold, and opened them up to let it slide through.”

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

I can’t stop thinking about when Susan Sontag said “I don’t feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall — like seeking love in a whorehouse.”
