“And I’ll write too, just the same, more desperately perhaps, more sincerely too. Let people hammer at me, let them turn me down, let them do what they like. Only let me see their real faces, their real souls.”

— Henry Miller, from a letter to Anaïs Nin dated December 29; 1934; from A Literate Passion: Letters of Anaïs Nin & Henry Miller: 1932-1953.
