Jeg tror vi skriver fordi vi må skape en verden vi kan leve i.
The Diary of Anaïs Nin Vol. 5 (1947-1955). February 1954.
I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live.
Why one writes is a question I can answer easily, having so often asked it of myself. I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live. I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me - the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.
