More quotes by Anais Nin
It is easy to love and there are so many ways to do it.
Anais Nin
My trunk, valises and my mind are overpacked.
Anais Nin
I have a prejudice against people with money. I have known so many, and none have escaped the corruption of power. In this I am a purist. I love people motivated by love and not by power. If you have money and power, and are motivated by love, you give it all away.
Anais Nin
Anxiety is love's greatest killer, because it is like the stranglehold of the drowning.
Anais Nin
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
I spell 'god' with a small 'g' because I do not believe in him, but I love to swear by him.
Anais Nin
[in the]..curious way that my idealism has been mixed with my fatalism, so that I can possess the soul of a dreamer and that of a cynic at the same time......I possess a power of magic...[to] destroy the balance of a well-designed destiny with my diabolical mind.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
The monster I kill every day is the monster of realism. The monster who attacks me every day is destruction. Out of the duel comes the transformation. I turn destruction into creation over and over again.
Anais Nin
It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all.
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.
Anais Nin
I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.
Anais Nin
The diary taught me that it is in the moments of emotional crisis that human beings reveal themselves most accurately. I learned to choose the heightened moments because they are the moments of revelation.
Anais Nin
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Anais Nin
I hate men who are afraid of women's strength.
Anais Nin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
Anais Nin
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.
Anais Nin
the best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing.
Anais Nin
the cynic is a coward. He foresees all barrenness so that barrenness can never surprise him.
Anais Nin
