There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.

More quotes by Anais Nin
I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.
Anais Nin
We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.
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
To love and to labor is the sum of living.
Anais Nin
The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
Anais Nin
I either eat too much or starve myself. Sleep for 14 hours or have insomniac nights. Fall in love very hard or hate passionately. I don't know what grey is. I never did.
Anais Nin
For you and for me the highest moment, the keenest joy, is not when our minds dominate but when we lose our minds, and you and I both lose it in the same way, through love.
Anais Nin
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin
I want to hear raucous music, to see faces, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine. Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I never look at naive faces. I want to bite into life, and to be torn by it.
Anais Nin
You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too.
Anais Nin
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we ... believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin
Sexual intercourse... a joyous, joyous, joyous, joyous impaling of woman on man's sensual mast.
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
Societies in decline have no use for visionaries.
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
Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.
Anais Nin
I have no fear of God, and yet fear keeps me awake at night,fear of the devil. And if I believe in the devil, I must believe in God. And if evil is abhorrent to me, I must be a saint. Henry, save me from beatification, from the horrors of static perfection. Precipitate me into the inferno.
Anais Nin
New York seems conducted by jazz, animated by it. It is essentially a city of rhythm.
Anais Nin
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
Anais Nin
Will you come down and kiss me good night?
Anais Nin
