Quote
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
I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world and then I stand revealed and I have shared my kingdom with you.
Anais Nin
The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic.
Anais Nin
My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.
Anais Nin
We cannot cure the evils of politics with politics.
Anais Nin
Your strength is soft, indirect, delicate, tender, womanly. But it is strength just the same.
Anais Nin
For you and for me the highest moment, the keenest joy, is not when our minds dominate but when we lose our minds, and you and I both lose it in the same way, through love.
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
We did not touch each other. We were both leaning over the abyss.
Anais Nin
I write emotional algebra.
Anais Nin
All unlived emotions turn to inanity.
Anais Nin
Nothing endures unless it has first been transposed into a myth, and the great advantage of myths is that they are ladies with portable roots.
Anais Nin
Analysis does not take into account the creative products of neurotic desires.
Anais Nin
America hates the artist. It will not admit: the artist is my soul and I want to kill off my soul.
Anais Nin
A big enough artist, I say, can eat anything, must eat everything and then alchemize it. Only the feeble writer is afraid of expansion.
Anais Nin
I want to love you wildly. I don’t want words, but inarticulate cries, meaningless, from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy, that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced.
Anais Nin
I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me, will weaken me, and make me tremble and soften and melt.
Anais Nin
We are all engaged in the task of peeling off the false selves, the programmed selves, the selves created by our families, our culture, our religions. It is an enormous task because the history of women has been as incompletely told as the history of blacks.
Anais Nin
the cynic is a coward. He foresees all barrenness so that barrenness can never surprise him.
Anais Nin
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
Innocence was gone from all our acts. Our habitual state of rebellion became a serious political crime.
