Anais Nin Quotes

I Find A Danger In Watching Films. It Is Like Passive Dreaming. It Requires No Participation, No Effort. It Induces Passivity. It Is Baby Food; No Need To Masticate, No Need To Carve. There Is No Need To Learn To Play An Instrument, To Learn To Read A Book. People Stretch On Specially Inclined Chairs And Receive The Images In Utter, Infantile Passivity. Speech, Already Inadequate In America, Will Soon Disappear Together With The Ability To Derive Significance From The Printed World. This Is As Radical A Change As From Monkey To Man, It Is An Evolution From Man Into Automaton.
