More quotes by Anais Nin
It is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar.
Anais Nin
To think of him in the middle of the day lifts me out of ordinary living.
Anais Nin
Warmth, perfume, rugs, soft lights, books. They do not appease me. I am aware of time passing, of all the world contains that I have not seen, of all the interesting people I have not met.
Anais Nin
Perhaps a child, like a cat, is so much inside of himself that he does not see himself in the mirror.
Anais Nin
We are all engaged in the task of peeling off the false selves, the programmed selves, the selves created by our families, our culture, our religions. It is an enormous task because the history of women has been as incompletely told as the history of blacks.
Anais Nin
How well I know with what burning intensity you live. You have experienced many lives already, including several you have shared with me- full rich lives from birth to death, and you just have to have these rest periods in between.
Anais Nin
One must be thrust out of a finished cycle in life, and that leap is the most difficult to make - to part with one's faith, one's love, when one would prefer to renew the faith and recreate the passion.
Anais Nin
Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.
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
although I love a rich life, I hate an overcrowded life. I believe in rumination and lose half the beauty of all things when I am deprived of the time to ruminate.
Anais Nin
The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
Anais Nin
The man who was once starved may revenge himself upon the world not by stealing just once, or by stealing only what he needs, but by taking from the world an endless toll in payment of something irreplaceable, which is the lost faith.
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
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
Anais Nin
The unknown was my compass. The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress.
Anais Nin
We sit on the kitchen exchanging these diabolical outgrowths of overfertile minds.
Anais Nin
When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
Anais Nin
I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world and then I stand revealed and I have shared my kingdom with you.
Anais Nin
Passion gives me moments of wholeness.
Anais Nin
You fall in love with people's minds.
