"When I cannot bear outer pressures any more, I begin to put order in my belongings. I get satisfaction from perfect order in my papers, in my clothes, in the house. I carry this to excess. As if unable to organize and control my life, I seek to exert this on the world of objects. There is a mania for discarding the useless, uncluttering the house, beautifying, tidying, a mania for super efficiency. I spend hours on this. It gives me peace."
–– Anaïs Nin (1903-1977), French-Cuban American writer
