Anais Nin
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.

Anais Nin
I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy.
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
Our love lives because I live.
Anais Nin
When I am most deeply rooted, I feel the wildest desire to uproot myself.
Anais Nin
The period without the diary remains an ordeal. Every evening I want my diary as one wants opium.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again. ANAÏS NIN, Fire: From A Journal of Love The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1934-1938 For me, the adventures of the mind, each inflection of thought, each movement, nuance, growth, discovery, is a source of exhilaration.
