From "The Diary of Anais Nin"

by Anais Nin

"I disregard the proportions, the measures,
the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live
in an ordinary world as an ordinary woman. To
enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I’m
neurotic. In the sense that I live in my world. I
will not adjust myself to the world . I am adjusted
to myself."

"And until we have not worked for the
incorruptible human being we will not have
an incorruptible system."

"The real meaning of the word 'educate' is to
lead the way out. And sometimes the artist has
been able to do that."
