[Anais Nin]This is Anais Nin, and I'm reading from the volume 4 of the diaries.

00:00:09,401 --> 00:00:13,987
In June, 1945, I wrote a letter to a young poet

3
00:00:13,987 --> 00:00:19,130
who was preoccupied, was concerned, about how little he had to give me.

4
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:26,863
I wrote to him: "I like to live always at the beginnings of life, not at their end.

5
00:00:26,863 --> 00:00:32,424
We all lose some of our faith under the oppression of mad leaders, insane history,

6
00:00:32,424 --> 00:00:36,302
pathologic cold days of daily life.

7
00:00:36,302 --> 00:00:39,483
I am by nature always beginning and believing

8
00:00:39,483 --> 00:00:46,681
and so I find your company more fruitful than those who assert their opinions, beliefs and knowledge

9
00:00:46,681 --> 00:00:49,174
as the ultimate verity.

10
00:00:49,174 --> 99:59:59,999
All the people fall into rigid patterns.
