Charlotte Eriksson
“Don’t try to present your art by making other people read or hear or see or touch it; make them feel it. Wear your art like your heart on your sleeve and keep it alive by making people feel a little better. Feel a little lighter. Create art in order for yourself to become yourself
and let your very existence be your song, your poem, your story.
Let your very identity be your book.
Let the way people say your name sound like the sweetest melody.”
Charlotte Eriksson

Charlotte Eriksson
“Am I making something worth while?
I’m not sure.
I write and I sing and I hear words from time to time about my life and choices making ways, into other lives, other hearts,
but am I making something worth while?
I’m not sure.

There was a boy last night who I never spoke to because I was too drunk and still shy, but mostly lonely, and I couldn’t find anything lightly to say,
so I simply walked away
but still wondered what he did with his life
because he didn’t even speak to me
or look at me
but still made me wonder who he was
and I walked away asking
Am I making something worth while?
I am not sure.

I am a complicated person with a simple life
and I am the reason for everything that ever happened to me.”
Charlotte Eriksson, Another Vagabond Lost To Love: Berlin Stories on Leaving & Arriving

Jean-Paul Sartre
“That's what I must avoid: I mustn't put strangeness where there's nothing. I think that is the danger of keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything, you are on the look-out, and you continually stretch the truth.”
Jean-Paul Sartre

Anaïs Nin
“She abandoned herself to his whim, thinking it was to be an orgy of eyes and hands only.”
Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus

Charlotte Eriksson
“For I have nothing to lean on, nowhere to call my home and there is nowhere I will go for Christmas to rest my head and touch familiar walls. I have no degree to show on paper or employment to take care of my health or the reassurance that I can pay my rent. And I have no right to complain because this is the road I choose and I built it myself, not really knowing where I wanted it to lead, but I have hope in all things ahead and behind and I am learning to let myself go. Forget my own ego and believe that what I am doing is grander than my very own self.”
Charlotte Eriksson

Farzana Zahid
“Love is beyond space and time. It reaches out to the heart of the person that you are missing. Love binds two souls and not two bodies.”
Awwthentic, The Prince and The Fairy

Anaïs Nin
“I am a woman first of all. At the core of my work was a journal written for the father I lost, loved and wanted to keep. I am personal. I am essentially human, not intellectual. I do not understand abstract act. Only art born of love, passion, pain.”
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

Farzana Zahid
“She is not an ordinary girl. She is my fairy who will change my life and make it beautiful with her smiles.”

Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Trần Dần
“Đúng là tôi viết nhật kí, đ� đưa hiện tại của tôi ra khỏi thời gian, đ� ngày hôm trước được tồn tại, vĩnh viễn. Nhưng tôi bắt đầu nhận thấy s� nguy hiểm của vĩnh cửu. Đã 3 mùa trôi qua, mà hiện tại của tôi ngày một t� hại. S� vĩnh cửu, giống như vũng nước tù, càng vĩnh cửu càng hôi thối, càng lắm kí sinh trùng. Chính vì vậy, tôi đã xé nhật kí.”
Trần Dần, Những ngã tư và những cột đèn

Farzana Zahid
“She believes in love, in destiny and she knows ...she feels her prince in her destiny. She just has to wait for the right time.....”
Awwthentic, The Prince and The Fairy

Taylor Rhodes
“The smell of cigarette smoke in the air in a tavern that changes names often,
a bar cursed because of a girl who died of a drug overdose
in the basement, we put a few coins in the jukebox;
chose “Angel Band� by Johnny Cash and sat down at the bar,
ordered a soda, you wanted a whiskey on the rocks.
We saw the coal miner who moved here from West Virginia
knocking back liquor like I drink sweet tea.
No one asked why he was so solemn today.
It was warm. It was relatively quiet.
To anyone else, this place could feel sinister.
But to us, it was freedom. It was a hiding place.
No one was ever here long enough to know us.
And we liked it that way.”
Taylor Rhodes, Sixteenth Notes: the breaking of the rose-colored glasses

Charlotte Eriksson
“Berlin's getting dark before it's getting late.”
Charlotte Eriksson

Joe Dunthorne
“Your diary should be a nepenthe.”
Joe Dunthorne

Anaïs Nin
“You sought to preserve your creative instincts and what would nourish them. But neurosis itself does not nourish the artist, you know; he creates in spite of it, out of anything, any material given to him. The torments and hells of [crazy men], are not for you.”
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

J.M. Coetzee
“Besides, who is to say that the feelings he writes in his diary are his true feelings? Who is to say that at each moment while the pen moves he is truly himself? At one moment he might truly be himself, at another he might simply be making things up. How can one know for sure? Why should he even want to know for sure?”
J.M. Coetzee

T.L. Rese
“History is the diary of humankind; to forget it is to try to navigate the future with no memory of the past.”
T.L. Rese

Farzana Zahid
“Her Prince! He might not be the handsomest man on earth. Not even the richest one too but he would have the purest of the heart and soul and he will love her with the same purity throughout eternity. He would be her Prince.”
Awwthentic, The Prince and The Fairy

Farzana Zahid
“She might not be cinderella to lose her shoe to find her prince or Rapunzel for that matter who will lift him up to set her free only to be lost in him, or Snow-white to be kissed and awakened by a Prince or any other princesses but yet she knows, she believes her destiny has a Prince in store for her - Her man. She would be his Princess and he would be her prince.”
Awwthentic, The Prince and The Fairy

Farzana Zahid
“So what if he is not part of my present but he is in my future, I know. And everyday I'm going a step closer to my future, to him.”
Awwthentic, The Prince and The Fairy

Anaïs Nin
“I put artistic values above all others. Because writing, for me, is an expanded world, a limitless world, containing all.”
Anaïs Nin

Rob Shepherd
“Everywhere that we looked, were objects & artifacts reminiscent of a bygone age. of war & destruction, of mankind's determination to rule his neighbour, to prove how mighty he and his people are, yet a romance of days past that I am drawn to like a soul lost and hearing his lovers cries to him”
Rob Shepherd, Life with Boris Karloff!

“The worse thing I have done in my life is Diary writing.... a wastage of time, wastage of papers filled with some imaginary feelings and bunch of silly activities done each day.... I cant feel any glimpse of appreciable work done by me, as whatever right I did, my Diary says " you were suppose to do it, so it was not a big deal....huhhh..."
I passed my last few nights in reading most of its pages.... "I laughed on the lines telling about my saddest moments and nights when I cried�.. but I felt woeful and downhearted on the lines telling about the moments when I shared my smile with someone, when I enjoyed the moments with my friends and near and dear ones, who r far and far now, and we can’t get those moments back in this busy selfish life"
So now its better in busy life to live evry day and forget it in night.... enjoy life.... save papers.... no diary writing from today..... Sorry Diary, You will Miss Me....”
Saket Assertive

Farzana Zahid
“Rose, we are here today. Tomorrow we don’t know where life will take us to. So, as long as we have today in our hands, let’s not slip it from our hands. Let’s live it!”
Awwthentic, The Prince and The Fairy

“If you're reading this, then I guess someone, somewhere does go through the rubbish and read every piece of paper that gets balled up and tossed away. So in that case here it is- my name's Sal.”
Alex Scarrow, City of Shadows

Israelmore Ayivor
“Find out your most limiting tasks and deal with them as early as possible. Use a diary, and jot little points of reminder about specific tasks for reference later.”
Israelmore Ayivor, Shaping the dream

“I was one of those unfortunates adopted by upper middle-class professionals and nurtured in an environment of learning, art and a socio-religious culture steeped in more than 2000 years of Talmudic tradition. Not everyone is lucky enough to have been raised in a whiskey tango trailer park by a bow-legged female whose sole qualification for motherhood is a womb that happened to catch a sperm of a passing truck driver.”
Generation Kill
