Anais Nin
The impetus to grow and live intensely is so powerful in me I cannot resist it. I will work, I will love my husband, but I will fulfill myself.
Anais Nin
Everything but happiness is neurosis.
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 New York the acoustics are good for laughter, for life is all external, all action, no thought, no meditation, no dreaming, no reflection, only the exuberance of action.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
