“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
― Anaïs Nin

That's a nice quote

Dual type(as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Thanks, Maritsa.
I've got another one:
“You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.”

I just said something quote-worthy
"Hurt promotes growth"
(well... I like it at least)
True but bland. Too tasteless. Make me want to eat your quote, Elina! Make it more poetic, add some spice, sugar, whatever, but not to the point where it's no longer food for thought.I just said something quote-worthy

I've read these more times than I can remember. I keep a copy next to me, along with the Tao Te Ching.
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
"To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable." ~ Oscar Wilde

It's short but not sweet. I would have ate it if it were.
"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself."
D. H. Lawrence
"Love, love is a gypsy child,
it has never, never, known a law;
love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware!"
-- Carmen (Bizet's opera)

“I am the most tired woman in the world. I am tired when I get up. Life requires an effort I cannot make. Please give me that heavy book. I need to put something heavy like that on top of my head. I have to place my feet under the pillows always, so as to be able to stay on earth. Otherwise I feel myself going away, going away at a tremendous speed, on account of my lightness. I know that I am dead. As soon as I utter a phrase my sincerity dies, becomes a lie whose coldness chills me. Don't say anything, because I see that you understand me, and I am afraid of your understanding. I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe. I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world; and then I stand revealed and I have to share my kingdom with you.”― Anaïs Nin

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

"All of those girls knew exactly what they were doing. None of them regret a second of it. They chose to be there. They never come out with boo-hoo stories, or wail: poor me, I was considered a mere object. That's just other people's perception. These women truly loved music, and, inevitably, the men behind it. And the fun, the escape. These days, for groupies, I'd say it was more about the fame. In the film, Penny Lane knows what's coming. She goes along with a smile on her face, but she knows exactly what people think of her. She just holds on a little too long, and the inevitable happens, but she needed it to happen, to give her the strength to move on instead of feeling sorry for herself. It's a weird moment of realization for her."-- Kate Hudson (Penny Lane, Almost Famous)
