Quote by Anaïs Nin

“The homosexuals wrote as if they were women. The timid ones wrote about orgies. The frigid ones about frenzied fulfill-ments. The most poetic ones indulged in pure bestiality and the purest ones in perversions. We were haunted by the marvelous tales we could not tell. We sat around, imagined this old man, talked of how much we hated him, because he would not allow us to make a fusion of sexuality and feeling, sensuality and emotion.”

Wie schön sprach darauf der halbverbrannte Falter: "Nach diesem Punkt darfst du nicht Bücher fragen: Nur Fieberglut kann neues Leben bringen, Nur Fieberflut gibt deinem Leben Schwingen!”
