“Anxiety is love’s greatest killer… It makes
others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you.”
Revered as one of the most dedicated diarists in literary history, Anaïs Nin has
given us a wealth of poetic and poignant meditations on life and the human
condition. This first installment in an ongoing collaboration with creative
polymath Debbie Millman — whose
own poetic and poignant meditations you might recall from recent Literary Jukebox editions — captures one of Nin’s most timeless insights on love, culled
from her many volumes of diaries and her love letters with Henry Miller. Drawn in Debbie’s singular style of artful lettering, the artwork is
available on
Society6, with proceeds benefiting A
Room of Her Own, a foundation supporting
women writers and artists. Enjoy:
Previous Brain Pickings
artist series have included Susan Sontag on art and on love by Wendy MacNaughton, Anaïs Nin on life by Lisa Congdon, and Salvador Dalí’s “My Struggle” by Molly Crabapple.
