Se vive así, cobijado en un mundo delicado, y uno cree que vive. Entonces lee un libro (Lady Chatterley, por ejemplo), o va de viaje, o habla con Richard, y descubre que no vive, que está simplemente hibernando. Los síntomas de la hibernación se pueden detectar fácilmente. El primero es la inquietud. El segundo síntoma (que llega cuando el estado de hibernación empieza a ser peligroso y podría degenerar en muerte) es la ausencia de placer. Eso es todo. Parece una enfermedad inocua. Monotonía, aburrimiento, muerte. Hay millones de personas que viven (o mueren) así, sin saberlo. Trabajan en oficinas. Tienen coches. Salen al campo con su familia. Educan a sus hijos. Hasta que llega una brusca conmoción: una persona, un libro, una canción... y los despierta, salvándoles de la muerte.
Anaïs NinI prefer empty cages, Sabina, until I find a unique bird I once saw in my dreams.
Anaïs NinThe enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or a woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.
Anaïs NinOrdinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous.
Anaïs NinSince desire always goes towards that which is our direct opposite, it forces us to love that which will make us suffer.
Anaïs NinIdealism is the death of the body and the imagination. All but freedom, utter freedom, is death
Anaïs NinThe struggle to emerge out of the past, clean of memories; the inadequacy of our hearts to cut life into separate and final portions; the pain of this constant ambivalence and interrelation of emotions; the hunger for frontiers against which we might learn as upon closed doors before we proceed forward; the struggle against diffusion, new beginnings, against finality in acts without finality or end, in our cursedly repercussive being..
Anaïs NinI don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits

Truth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.
Anaïs NinIt takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before... to test yout limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossum.
