More quotes by Anais Nin

Anais Nin

Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Will you come down and kiss me good night?
Anais Nin
Asia discovered two remedies for the cruelty of man, art and religion. America discarded both and is drowning in hate and aggressivity.
Anais Nin
You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living.
Anais Nin
I love man as creator, lover, husband, friend, but man the father I do not trust. I do not believe in man as father. I do not trust man as father.
Anais Nin
He had a mania for washing and disinfecting himself. . . . For him the only danger came from the microbes that attacked the body. He had not studied the microbe of conscience which eats into the soul.
Anais Nin
The diary taught me that it is in the moments of emotional crisis that human beings reveal themselves most accurately. I learned to choose the heightened moments because they are the moments of revelation.
Anais Nin
The fiery moments of passionate experience are the moments of wholeness and totality of the personality.
Anais Nin
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin
[On Paris:] A city never entirely known, yet which gives you the feeling of intimacy, of possessing it intimately.
