Anaïs Nin _ Incest: From A Journal of Love
Again I take a taxi to Clichy address, but feel that I do not want to go on loving Henry more actively than he loves me {having realized that nobody will ever love me in that overabundant, overexpressive, overthoughtful, overhuman way I love people}, and so I will wait for him. So I ask taxi driver to drop me at the Galeries Lafayette, where I begin to look for a new hat and to shop for Christmas. Pride? I don't know. A kind of wise retreat. I need people too much. So I bury my gigantic defect, my overflow of love, under trivialities, like a child. I amuse myself with a new hat."
