More quotes by Anais Nin
In my childhood diary I wrote: “I have decided that it is better not to love anyone, because when you love people, then you have to be separated from them, and that hurts too much.
Anais Nin
It is difficult to live with the pure. They do not condemn you they forgive you. This forgiveness is more terrible than a judgment.
Anais Nin
I like extravagance. Letters which give the postman a stiff back to carry, books which overflow from their covers, sexuality which bursts the thermometers.
Anais Nin
Expressing feelings is linked directly with creation... In this ability to tap the sources of feeling and imagination lies the secret of abundance.
Anais Nin
There is an ugliness in being paid for work one does not like.
Anais Nin
the best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing.
Anais Nin
Things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are
Anais Nin
Guilt is the one burden human beings can't bear alone.
Anais Nin
Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate. I hate murderously.

I have a prejudice against people with money. I have known so many, and none have escaped the corruption of power. In this I am a purist. I love people motivated by love and not by power. If you have money and power, and are motivated by love, you give it all away.
Anais Nin
A man fell in love with Jeanne, and she tried to love him. But she complained that he uttered such ordinary words, that he could never say the magic phrase which would open her being.
Anais Nin
I see enormous loves growing immense and finally crushing me.
Anais Nin
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
The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human, as man who created a child and then, by his absence, left the child fatherless and then Godless.
Anais Nin
A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.
Anais Nin
We love best those who are, or act for us, a self we do not wish to be or act out.
Anais Nin
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
Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.
Anais Nin
I don't wish power, only art -art and passion.
Anais Nin
Love men and women not for their strength but their softness, not for their fullness but their hunger, not for their plenty but their need.
Anais Nin
