More quotes by Anais Nin

Image
Truth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.
Anais Nin
Image
Because history is only an aggregate of personal hostilities, personal prejudices, personal blindness and irrationality, there are times when we have to live against it.
Anais Nin
Image
I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live.
Anais Nin
Image
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin
Image
To write at the same temperature at which I live I should write nothing but poetry.
Anais Nin
Image
People who want a sane, static, measurable world take the first aspect of an event or person and stick to it, with an almost self-protective obstinacy, or by a natural limitation of their imaginations. They do not indulge in either deepening or magnifying.
Anais Nin
Image
Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you.
Anais Nin
Image
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Anais Nin
Image
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
Image
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
Anais Nin
Image
She walked in the shadow of Rango with a great feeling of being taken out of herself, of having no knowledge of what was happening to her, merely a pervading sense of flow.
Anais Nin
Image
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
Anais Nin
Image
There is an ugliness in being paid for work one does not like.
Anais Nin
Image
I am aware of being in a beautiful prison, from which I can only escape by writing.
Anais Nin
Image
The leaf fall of his words, the stained glass hues of his moods, the rust in his voice, the smoke in his mouth, his breath on my vision like human breath blinding a mirror.
Anais Nin
Image
I have no brakes on...analysis is for those who are paralyzed by life.
Anais Nin
Image
Each friend represents a world in us.
Anais Nin
Image
I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.
Anais Nin
Image
I walk ahead of myself in perpetual expectancy of miracles.
Anais Nin
Image
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.
