More quotes by 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
The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom. We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Anais Nin
It is difficult to live with the pure. They do not condemn you they forgive you. This forgiveness is more terrible than a judgment.
Anais Nin
Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite.
Anais Nin
Coming near him like a ballet dancer she took a leap towards him, and he, frightened by her vehemence, and fearing that she would crash against him, instinctively became absolutely rigid, and she felt herself embracing a statue.
Anais Nin
I find that life, day by day, is composed of at least one joy, one problem and one sorrow. Then there are the smaller ingredients: you always learn something, whether useful or harmful - that is difficult to analyze until later you always give something you alwayou always grow a little in one direction or another.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Anais Nin
The morning I got up to begin this book I coughed. Something was coming out of my throat: it was strangling me. I broke the thread which held it and yanked it out. I went back to bed and said: I have just spat out my heart.
Anais Nin
The love of only one man or one woman is an enclosure.
Anais Nin
The bed must be a beautiful place, not only because you make love there but because you dream there as well.
Anais Nin
Writers do not live one life, they live two. There is the living and then there is the writing. There is the second tasting, the delayed reaction.
Anais Nin
I sleep with my feet on moss carpets, my branches in the cotton of the clouds.
Anais Nin
I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.
Anais Nin
Because history is only an aggregate of personal hostilities, personal prejudices, personal blindness and irrationality, there are times when we have to live against it.
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
Jazz is the music of the body.
Anais Nin
I am aware of being in a beautiful prison, from which I can only escape by writing.
Anais Nin
If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.
Anais Nin
