Welcome Everybody to the Quote of the Week! Your presence, exactly as is at this very moment, is greatly appreciated. The featured quote this week is by Anais Nin and is from her Diaries written in 1946. It has a lot of meaning today and you could probably insert the word internet in the last line to bring it up to date.
"The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow. It eliminates the vice of procrastination, the sin of postponement, failed communications, failed communions. This thought has made me more and more attentive to all encounters. meetings, introductions, which might contain the seed of depth that might be carelessly overlooked. This feeling has become a rarity, and rarer every day now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people, more people, more countries. This is the illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us. The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, internet take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision."
“If you ask me, I will tell you, what I came into to this world to do,
I came live out loud.”
Emile Zola
