Anais Nin describes the world of the artist as being one of joy, creation, freedom, and altruism. She contrasts this with the world of reality, one of greed, power, war, self-interest, corruption, dullness, and hypocrisy.
She encounters people who come from both worlds; she seeks the world of the artist and avoids the world of reality. Artists haven't forgotten how to dream and maintain the innocence of the child. They understand the abstraction in her writing because they are poets. They seek harmony, as she does, and have no need to argue to prove they are right. Artists are romantic, intuitive, spontaneous people who create beauty.
