Anaïs Nin, from The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 5: 1947-1955
[Text ID: I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me — the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.]
Charles Bukowski, “The Poet,” from Slouching Toward Nirvana
