Days [ ) Duel | Anaïs Nin, 1931-32

Steven Parrino, Slip it in, 1987
“The monster I kill every day is the monster of realism. The monster who attacks me every day is destruction. Out of the duel comes the transformation. I turn destruction into creation over and over again.”
Anaïs Nin, Henry and June: From “A Journal of Love, 1931-32
