Anais Nin
Sometimes I think of Paris not as a city but as a home.
Anais Nin
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
One handles truths like dynamite.
Anais Nin
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin
atrophy of feeling creates criminals.
Anais Nin
Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.
Anais Nin
If a person continues to see giants, it means he is still looking at the world through the eyes of a child.
