Anaïs Nin

Famous writer, Anais Nin, once said, "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born" (Searchquotes.com).  I felt that meeting my best friend and being reunited with her after five years, has a close relation to this quote.  Throughout the years, our friendship has grown.  We have bonded and become closer than ever.  Mallori is my best friend, and our moms are the reason why.  When our moms, Jen and Stefani

Before noticing these two metaphors, I did not think much about the different perceptions of people and how “we don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are” (Anais Nin). In a way, it made me understand how two people can have two very different opinions on the same person. This is a concept I could never grasp before. I always wondered why, for example, I could get along with someone, but friends could not. Now

Swami Sivananda once said “Put your, heart , mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.” The person I was when I arrived was one who did not care about school work I even was one who put everything else before school. My career plan was always to become a dental hygienist, knowing it was two years of school it interested me the most. When it came to school and knowing what I wanted it lead me the right way. I had went to a dental program with New Horizons for two

banned from being staged in London for its religious (rather than sexual) content. It is worth asking, then, what role was played by explicit sexuality in defining Modernist art and Modernist consciousness. An examination of works by Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, and Djuna Barnes may demonstrate that, to a large extent, the description of sexuality served a two-fold purpose: it helped Modernism define itself against the proprieties of earlier literature, but it also represented an inward turn for art.

“To do something very common, in my own way” : The Growth of a Woman’s Consciousness The history of human civilization has taken centuries to form and it continues to evolve every instant. There has never been talk of a ‘man’s civilization’ or a ‘woman’s civilization’ which is evidence of the fact of both man and woman starting from the same platform. The difference, nevertheless, has been in the trajectory of the evolution of these sub-species. What, however, could have caused this distinction

Anais Nin once said "You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate and what is written in the stars." Shakespeare proves these word to be true in Romeo and Juliet when Romeo and Juliet fall in love, despite their families’ feud. In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, fate and destiny, not free will and choice, drives the plot and leads to the tragic ending. The family grudge between the Capulets and Montagues is something that neither Romeo nor Juliet can change;

For the most of the people it’s hard to see the world objectively. Especially, I understood this situation more deeply when I read a quote from Anaïs Nin. The Anaïs Nin says that ““We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.” which reflects it pretty well. People sees a thing through their own perceptions, beliefs and attitudes. Rorschach test has been used for a long time to analysis a person's character and perspective. In Rorschach test, the person's perceptions of ink blobs are recorded

non-duality within duality as a new insight in analyzing female characters’ subjective and gendered identity of the selected novels; Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847), Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1848), Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1982), and Anaïs Nin’s A Spy in the House of Love (1954). The idea of non-duality within duality points to the autonomous yet interrelated subjectivity of characters in terms of self-consciousness, self-love, the ethical relationship, and poetics of love, as Irigaray

What is so amazing about writing and reading? Well, As Anais Nin once put it: “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” and I’m sure everyone has felt it, the magic in putting yourself into words. With my blog, I like to believe that I can share such “taste,” because it is not only a way for me to improve my writing skills, but also to express myself through the things that interest me. The Harlem Renaissance Essay was somewhat challenging, since it encouraged me to use and

Art and Sex In Modernist literature, the artist is the most important occupation that a person can pursue. The artist is the person who is responsible for holding a mirror to the culture of the community. It is thus their responsibility to show that community exactly what the community was truly about, especially if that truth were particularly harsh or ugly. Paris, France is famous for being a location wherein one could indulge in every kind of sin, the more lascivious the better. This aspect
