About Me

"As to all that nonsense Henry and Larry talked about, the necessity of 'I am God' in order to create (I suppose they mean 'I am God, I am not a woman')... this 'I am God' which makes creation an act of solitude and pride, this image of God alone making sky, earth, sea, it is this image which has confused woman." — Anais Nin
