“The ivory tower of the artist may be the only stronghold
left for human values, cultural treasures, man’s cult of beauty.” ~ Anais Nin
“Sometimes I think of Paris not as a city but as a home.
Enclosed, curtained, sheltered, intimate. The sound of rain outside the window,
the spirit and the body turned towards intimacy, to friendships and loves. One
more enclosed and intimate day of friendship and love, an alcove. Paris
intimate like a room. Everything designed for intimacy. Five to seven was the
magic hour of the lovers’ rendezvous. Here it is the cocktail hour.” ~ Anais Nin
