Image
Everything but happiness is neurosis.
Anais Nin
Image
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Anais Nin
Image
To change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one's mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use.
Anais Nin
Image
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.

Image
Analysis does not take into account the creative products of neurotic desires.
Anais Nin
Image
You must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing.

Image
I will always be the virgin-prostitute, the perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly woman.
Anais Nin
Image
The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.
Anais Nin
Image
The richest source of creation is feeling, followed by a vision of its meaning.
Anais Nin
Image
I see myself wrapped in lies, which do not seem to penetrate my soul, as if they are not really a part of me. They are like costumes.
Anais Nin
Image
Poetry, which is our relation to the senses, enables us to retain a living relationship to all things. It is the quickest means of transportation to reach dimensions above or beyond the traps set by the so-called realists. It is a way to learn levitation and travel in liberated continents, to travel by moonlight as well as sunlight.
Anais Nin
Image
I have so strong a sense of creation, of tomorrow, that I cannot get drunk, knowing I will be less alive, less well, less creative the next day.
Anais Nin
Image
... and the very folds of the curtains contained secrets and sighs.
Anais Nin
Image
To withhold from living is to die ... the more you give of yourself to life the more life nourishes you.
Anais Nin
Image
I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Anais Nin
Image
I'm sick of my own romanticism!
Anais Nin
Image
I want to do things so wild with you that I don't know how to say them.
Anais Nin
Image
Either one fails in one's art or in one's life.

Image
I love your silences, they are like mine.

When one is pretending the entire body revolts.
