Description: This blunt but striking quote is one that reveals the depth of insight of its writer who was famous for provocative writing — Anaïs Nin (1903–1977). Nin was a French-born American author, diarist, and essayist famous for her posthumous publication of personal diaries and her pioneering works of female erotica. While she did not consider herself an activist, she was widely viewed as a feminist icon for her unapologetic exploration of female desire, inner emotional lives, and self-revelation long before such themes were widely accepted in mainstream literature per Wikipedia.

We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
