Image
One may gain one truth at the expense of another.

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 had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored.

Travel is seeking the lost paradise. It is the supreme illusion of love.

Image
When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness.

perhaps the only magician we have is the artist.
Anais Nin
Image
I walked into my own book, seeking peace. It was night, and I made a careless movement inside the dream I turned too brusquely the corner and I bruised myself against my madness.
Anais Nin
Image

Anais Nin
Image
Life is so fluid that one can only hope to capture the living moment, to capture it alive and fresh ... without destroying that moment.
Anais Nin
Image
We see things the way we are, not the way they are.

Some people read to confirm their own hopelessness. Others read to be rescued from it.

Image
The inner chambers of the soul are like the photographer's darkroom. Like a laboratory. One cannot stay there all the time or it becomes the solitary cell of the neurotic.
Anais Nin
Image
You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you I wished for your existence. You will always be a part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we shared, at some moment, the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.

Adolescence is like cactus.

I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.
