Selected Anais Nin Quotations


There came a time when
the risk to remain tight in the bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.


• We don't see things as they are,
we see them as we are.


• Life shrinks or expands according to one's courage.


• Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.


• 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.




As a woman, I find it very embarrassing
to be in a meeting and realize
I'm the only one in the room with balls.
~ Rita Mae Brown




“You can no more win a war
than you can win an earthquake.”

it is felt in close propinquity with someone
who has ceased to communicate.

And now they is asking to do it,
the men better let them.
Sojourner Truth (~1797-1883)




It was so cold I almost got married.
Shelley Winters






AND THE STUPID SAYING
AWARD GOES TO............

"The fight for the Equal Rights Amendment
in Iowa is about a socialist,
anti-family political movement
that encourages women
to leave their husbands, kill their children,
practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism,
and become lesbians."

brought to you by.......
Pat Robertson,
American televangelist and politician, in 1992

How in the world
does expecting equal treatment
under the law
translate into one
becoming a big lesbian witch?

That is so crazy!
We hope he doesn't really think this.


We don't think Jesus would
say this kind of thing ever.

It isn't very nice.
