Summer, 1953: Random Thoughts

A few key thoughts Anais Nin reveals in this entry of her Diary:

- clutter interferes with freedom of thought

- "the most tragic moment in human relationships is when we are given to see, accidentally, by a revealing word, or a moment of crisis, the image which the other carries within himself of us, and we catch a glimpse of a stranger, or a caricature of ourselves, or an aspect of our worst self aggrandized, larger than nature, or a total distortion."

- some escapes are constructive

- you can disagree with someone but still like and respect them

- the artist is a type of adventurer, going through hells most people are not willing to explore

- often times, your conflicts are not with others but within yourself
