More quotes by Anais Nin
Our love lives because I live.
Anais Nin
One discovers that destiny can be diverted, that one does not have to remain in bondage to the first wax imprint made on childhood sensibilities. Once the deforming mirror has been smashed, there is a possibility of wholeness. There is a possibility of joy.
Anais Nin
The violence and obscenity are left unadulterated, as manifestation of the mystery and pain which ever accompanies the act of creation.
Anais Nin
The real wonders of life lie in the depths. Exploring the depths for truths is the real wonder which the child and the artist know: magic and power lie in truth.
Anais Nin
I have this weird obsession about buying books and looking at them with a smile, even if I won't read them soon. At least they are mine now.
Anais Nin
The secret of life was Breath. That was what I always wanted my words to do, to Breathe.
Anais Nin
The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body. Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls, so sensuality traverses the body and reaches up to ecstasy.
Anais Nin
There were silences in my head. I could abandon myself completely to the pleasure of multiple relationships, to the beauty of the day, to the joys of the day. It was as if a cancer in me had ceased gnawing me. The cancer of introspection.
Anais Nin
But the artist persists because he has the will to create, and this is the magic power which can transform and transfigure and transpose and which will ultimately be transmitted to others.
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
You fall in love with people's minds.
Anais Nin
Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again.
Anais Nin
The dream has to be translated into reality.
Anais Nin
To lie, of course, is to engender insanity.
Anais Nin
Our love of each other was like two long shadows kissing without hope of reality.
Anais Nin
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.
Anais Nin
We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them.
Anais Nin
I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
Anais Nin
Balance is not to be sought by association with others it must exist within one's self.
Anais Nin
We see things the way we are, not the way they are.
Anais Nin
