[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

00:00:13.987 --> 00:00:19.130
who was preoccupied, was concerned, about how little he had to give me.

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.

00:00:26.863 --> 00:00:32.424
We all lose some of our faith under the oppression of mad leaders, insane history,

00:00:32.424 --> 00:00:36.302
pathologic cold days of daily life.

00:00:36.302 --> 00:00:39.483
I am by nature always beginning and believing

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

00:00:46.681 --> 00:00:49.174
as the ultimate verity.

00:00:49.174 --> 99:59:59.999
All the people fall into rigid patterns.
