She makes use of the soft of the bread for a napkin. She falls asleep at times with shoes on, on unmade beds. When a little money comes in, June buys delicacies, strawberries in the winter, caviar and bath salts.

More quotes by Anais Nin

Anais Nin
We sit on the kitchen exchanging these diabolical outgrowths of overfertile minds.
Anais Nin
You live out the confusions until they become clear.
Anais Nin
I wanted to remember in order to be able to return.
Anais Nin
Beware of allowing a tactless word, a rebuttal, a rejection to obliterate the whole sky
Anais Nin

Poetry, which is our relation to the senses, enables us to retain a living relationship to all things. It is the quickest means of transportation to reach dimensions above or beyond the traps set by the so-called realists. It is a way to learn levitation and travel in liberated continents, to travel by moonlight as well as sunlight.
Anais Nin
My trunk, valises and my mind are overpacked.
Anais Nin
A man who lives unrelated to other human beings dies. But a man who lives unrelated to himself also dies.
Anais Nin
The Frenchman, by nature, is sensuous and sensitive. He has intelligence, which makes him tired of life sooner than other kinds of men. He is not athletic: he sees the futility of the pursuit of fame the climate at times depresses him.
Anais Nin
In my dreams I sleep with everybody.

Anxiety is love's greatest killer, because it is like the stranglehold of the drowning.
Anais Nin
She had acquired some of his gypsy ways, some of his nonchalance, his bohemian indiscipline. She had swung with him into the disorders of strewn clothes, spilled cigarette ashes, slipping into bed all dressed, falling asleep thus, indolence, timelessness...A region of chaos and moonlight. She liked it there.
Anais Nin
His life rushes onward in such torrential rhythm that...only angels and devils can catch the tempo of it.
Anais Nin
The complaints of the child in us will never cease lamenting until it is consoled, answered, understood. Only then will it lie still in us, like our fears. It will die in peace and leave us what the child leaves to the man - the sense of wonder.
Anais Nin
The shell is America's most active contribution to the formation of character. A tough hide. Grow it early.
Anais Nin
I want to do things so wild with you that I don't know how to say them.
