We Don't See Things as They are, we see them as We are !

The above quote is attributed to Anais Nin. I thought the quote was so thought provoking that I decided to see who this person is or was. This lady was born as: Angela Anais Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell on February 21, 1903 in Neuilly, France. She was of Cuban-French nationality and died on January 14, 1977. Her father was a Cuban pianist and composer, and her mother a classically trained Cuban singer.

Many of her quotes and beliefs seem to strike a chord in me. As a result, I will study some of her writings and I continue on my journey. Some other quotes are:

"Life expands or contracts according to one's courage"

"Dreams are necessary to life"

"People living deeply have no fear of death"

Wishing you all the courage to live deeply in your dreams.

Love, peace and joy

  1. "We don't see things as they are,we see them as we are." Ummm...I got it! For example, I don't see you as you are, I see you as I am; as a result, you are me.
