Inspired by Anais Nin

“And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” ~ Anais Nin

A beautiful and inspiring quote from one of my favorite blogs, Becca and Bella.

It led me right to the library to find something - anything - by Anais Nin, to indulge my imagination.  I settled on The Diary of Anais Nin, Volume 6, 1955 – 1966.

A quote that sums it up!

"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time.  Sometimes this makes planning the day difficult." E.B. White

Inspiring Quotes

  • From Martha Graham:
    "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open...No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others"
