Anais Nin
My first vision of earth was water veiled. I am of the race of men and women who see all things through this curtain of sea and my eyes are the color of water.
Anais Nin
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive.
Anais Nin
Societies in decline have no use for visionaries.
Anais Nin
When I first met him, he did not care if a friend did not fit into his world, because at that time his world had not been born yet.
Anais Nin
They courted the face on the screen, the face of translucence, the face of wax on which men found it possible to imprint the image of their fantasy.
Anais Nin
Then at certain moments I remember one of his words and I suddenly feel the sensual woman flaring up, as if violently caressed. I say the word to myself, with joy. It is at such a moment that my true body lives.
Anais Nin
