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.

To change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard
Anais Nin

I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin

To commit suicide is easy. To live without a god is more difficult. The drunkenness of triumph is greater than the drunkenness of sacrifice.
Anais Nin
I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
Anais Nin
New York seems conducted by jazz, animated by it. It is essentially a city of rhythm.
Anais Nin
Since desire always goes towards that which is our direct opposite, it forces us to love that which will make us suffer.
Anais Nin
If you are terribly truthful, the ground will always move from under you, and you will have to shift with the constantly shifting truth.
Anais Nin
Your eyes make me shy
Anais Nin
Sometimes we reveal ourselves when we are least like ourselves.
Anais Nin
Societies in decline have no use for visionaries.
