More quotes by Anais Nin
I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.
Anais Nin
I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits
Anais Nin
I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.
Anais Nin
It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
All those who try to unveil the mysteries always have tragic lives. At the end they are always punished.
Anais Nin
Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.
Anais Nin
I sleep with my feet on moss carpets, my branches in the cotton of the clouds.
Anais Nin
The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic.
Anais Nin
Nature forms us for ourselves, not for others to be, not to seem.
Anais Nin
We did not touch each other. We were both leaning over the abyss.
Anais Nin
I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension
Anais Nin
She had acquired some of his gypsy ways, some of his nonchalance, his bohemian indiscipline. She had swung with him into the disorders of strewn clothes, spilled cigarette ashes, slipping into bed all dressed, falling asleep thus, indolence, timelessness...A region of chaos and moonlight. She liked it there.
Anais Nin
I love your silences, they are like mine.
Anais Nin
Anxiety is love's greatest killer, because it is like the stranglehold of the drowning.
Anais Nin
Big Business and Politics are twins, they are the monsters who kill everything, corrupt everything.
