Anais Nin
Image
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.
Anais Nin
Image
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
Anais Nin
Image
although I love a rich life, I hate an overcrowded life. I believe in rumination and lose half the beauty of all things when I am deprived of the time to ruminate.
Anais Nin
Image
I'm sick of my own romanticism!
Anais Nin
Image
willingness to explore everything is a sign of strength. The weak ones have prejudices. Prejudices are a protection.
Anais Nin
Image
If I love you it means we share the same fantasies, the same madnesses
Anais Nin
Image
A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared for, has a very good chance of eventually being fought.
Anais Nin
Image
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
