More quotes by Anais Nin
I sat there for three hours and did not feel the time or the boredom of our talk and its foolish disconnection. As long as I could hear his voice, I was quite lost, quite blind, quite outside my own self.
Anais Nin
This image of herself as a not ordinary women, an image which was trembling now in his eyes, might suddenly disappear. Nothing more difficult to live up to than men's dreams.
Anais Nin
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.
Anais Nin
Each friend represents a world in us.
Anais Nin
Solitude may rust your words.
Anais Nin
Our psychological reality, which lies below the surface, frightens us because it endlessly surprises us and drives us in a direction which society's rules and organizations define as wrong or dangerous.
Anais Nin
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin
Perhaps a child, like a cat, is so much inside of himself that he does not see himself in the mirror.
Anais Nin
I'm sick of my own romanticism!
Anais Nin
The imagination is far better at inventing tortures than life because the imagination is a demon within us and it knows where to strike, where it hurts. It knows the vulnerable spot, and life does not, our friends and lovers do not, because seldom do they have the imagination equal to the task.
Anais Nin
Travel is seeking the lost paradise. It is the supreme illusion of love.
Anais Nin
Every individual is representative of the whole . . . and should be intimately understood, and this would give a far greater understanding of mass movements and sociology.
Anais Nin
I want to hear raucous music, to see faces, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine. Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I never look at naive faces. I want to bite into life, and to be torn by it.
Anais Nin
Keeping a Diary all my life helped me to discover some basic elements essential to the vitality of writing.
Anais Nin
I must know, he thinks. It must be clear to me. There is a world which is closed to him, a world of shadings, gradations, nuances, and subtleties. He is a genius and yet he is too explicit. June slips between his fingers. You cannot posses without loving.
Anais Nin
Whenever you do something that is not aligned with the yearning or your soul—you create suffering.
Anais Nin
In chaos, there is fertility.
Anais Nin
He, who had done more than any human being to draw her out of the caves of her secret, folded life, now threw her down into deeper recesses of fear and doubt. The fall was greater than she had ever known, because she had ventured so far into emotion and had abandoned herself to it.
Anais Nin
I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated

myself ... is merely an instrument to connect life and a myth
