Things I like...

FRANCIS BACON ~ ON BEING AN ARTIST

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“I don’t think people are born artists; I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings,
the people you meet, and luck”
Francis Bacon

ANAIS NIN ~ LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
Anais Nin

MARGOT FONTEYN ~ ON ART

ANAIS NIN ~ QUOTE ON PERSONALITY

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.”
Anais Nin
