New Mantra

Before today, I'd never heard of Anais Nin.  Now I'm Wikipedia-ing and Amazon-ing like crazy.  I pretty much love the the directness of this quote:

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin

If I had a lifeboard (which I don't...yet) this quote would be on it.
