Isabelle Adjani
You protect your being when you love yourself better. That's the secret.
You must take the risk to disclose yourself in order to become more real, more human. And even if the price is high.
What beauty in childhood, what purity, what openness before one lets oneself be killed and cruelty recloses all.
Today I trust my instinct, I trust myself. Finally.
To leave in search of yourself, of your real needs, is easier when you don't have to justify yourself to anyone, when there are not too many people bestowing you their attention.
To change, that is the most difficult thing to accomplish.
There has also been much love, joy, evidence of admiration, there has never been one without the other.
There has already been the karmic work : that what life has transformed in me, this initiation brought on, of necessity, by trials.
There are people who never experience that, who remain closed until death, from fear of change.
That passion cuts everything else, it blocks all, it's what psychologists call unhealthy. It's what one calls total alienation.
Passion surprises. One doesn't search it. It can happen to you tomorrow.
Passion is all but soft, it's not tender, it's violence to which you get hooked by pleasure.
One is never ready for success. It consecrates and looses you at the same time.
One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.
One can be emptied out and be filled up.
One believes that if nothing happens, one disappears. That is not true.
Nothingness not being nothing, nothingness being emptiness.
My limits will be better marked. Both the limits I will set, and my own limits.
Life has brought me work to do on myself these past two years.
In love, one should simplify, choose persons worthy of their promises and leave them if they don't keep them.
