Image
She walked in the shadow of Rango with a great feeling of being taken out of herself, of having no knowledge of what was happening to her, merely a pervading sense of flow.
Anais Nin
Image
Anxiety is loves greatest killer.
Anais Nin
Image
I will always be the virgin-prostitute, the perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly woman.
Anais Nin
Image
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made of layers, cells, constellations.
Anais Nin
Image
You must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing.

Image
My trunk, valises and my mind are overpacked.
Anais Nin
Image
Through love, through friendship, a heart lives more than one life.
Anais Nin
Image
In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude.
Anais Nin
Image
My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles. I weep when I find others play them for me. My real self is unknown. My work is merely an essence of this vast and deep adventure.
Anais Nin
Image
The core of creation is to summon an image and the power to work with the image.
Anais Nin
Image
A trite word is an overused word which has lost its identity like an old coat in a second-hand shop. The familiar grows dull and we no longer see, hear, or taste it.
Anais Nin
Image
Our love lives because I live.
Anais Nin
Image
I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
Anais Nin
Image
Acapulco in the sunset seems like a balm it enters the blood like a drug after one inhalation of the scent of flowers, one glimpse of the bay iridescent like silk, the sunset like the inside of a shell, so much like the flesh of Venus.
Anais Nin
Image
If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.
Anais Nin
Image
although I love a rich life, I hate an overcrowded life. I believe in rumination and lose half the beauty of all things when I am deprived of the time to ruminate.
Anais Nin
Image
Each friend represents a world in us.
Anais Nin
Image
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
Image
When one is pretending the entire body revolts.

Sometimes I think of Paris not as a city but as a home.
