I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world.I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women.
To enter ordinary relationships.
I want ecstasy.
I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world.
I will not adjust myself to the world.
I am adjusted to myself.

I may live in my own little world, but at least everyone knows me there.
Anais Ninn is one of the most quotable people ever. this, is true.

You do want to be the girl with the most cake.
i will not adjust myself to the world.
thank you.
Anais Nin is heavily quotable. I especially love the last two lines. :)
Loved the Anais Nin quote, as Jacob said, one of the most quotable people. Shame I couldn't see the picture though.
I disregard the porportions, too. That's why my butt is so big.
Life aint a dress rehearsal. Sounds like you get it...
Eat all the cake.

You, Anais ... you say what I mean to say, and so very well.
Ah, yes, such self-love is ideal.
No risk, little fear.
"When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others." -Anaïs Nin
but...
"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman." -Anaïs Nin
...even Anaïs floundered at the sterility of such an existence.
Personally I prefer 'A Spy in the House of Love'.
This is just a flowery excuse for being stubborn.
I will adjust my underwear to the world
I like "Delta of Venus." This should come as no surprise.
Heh heh...I said "come."
Anais died alone with a lot of cats and resentment, didn't she?
Anais Nin was so very cool.
...words to live by!
this is a great quote!
pssssssssssssst! Brookelina! i got a whole bag of exctasy! you should have asked, dude - 5 quid each, yeah?
I am new to Anais Bin. Very intersting quote...
That's actually a very pretty piece.
I also refuse to adjust to the world and stop being eleven years old. Come to the zoo with me! We can look at the elephants! (I'm not really trying to be funny; I haven't been to the zoo in a while.)
Anais' take on the whole "I will wear purple" ethos.
