Sounds Like: Something old and something new at the same time...

"There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest." - Anais Nin

"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. " - Sir Francis Bacon
