"For indeed my life is a perpetual question mark
– my thirst for
books, my observations of people, all tend to satisfy a great,
overwhelming desire to know, to understand, to find an answer to a
million questions.
And gradually the answers are revealed, many things
are explained, and above all, many things are given names and described,
and my restlessness is subdued.
Then I become an exclamatory person,
clapping my hands to the immense surprises the world holds for me, and
falling from one ecstasy into another.
I have the habit of peeping and
prying and listening and seeking – passionate curiosity and expectation.
But I have also the habit of being surprised, the habit of being filled
with wonder and satisfaction each time I stumble on some wondrous
thing."
— Anaïs Nin
