love never dies a natural death

"love never dies a natural death.  it dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.  it dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.  it dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."

-anais nin

my whole world

"had i not created my whole world,

i would certainly have died in other people's."

-anais nin

i must be a mermaid

"i must be a mermaid, Rango. i have no fear of depths

and a great fear of shallow living."

- anais nin
