Anais Nin
Tranquillity is contagious, peace is contagious. One only thinks of the contagiousness of illness, but there is the contagion of serenity and joy.
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
If I love you it means we share the same fantasies, the same madnesses
Anais Nin
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
Anais Nin
If you are terribly truthful, the ground will always move from under you, and you will have to shift with the constantly shifting truth.
