More quotes by Anais Nin
The real wonders of life lie in the depths. Exploring the depths for truths is the real wonder which the child and the artist know: magic and power lie in truth.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
perhaps the only magician we have is the artist.
Anais Nin
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made of layers, cells, constellations.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Whenever you do something that is not aligned with the yearning or your soul—you create suffering.
Anais Nin
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin
The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
Anais Nin
I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension
Anais Nin
A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.
Anais Nin
the best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing.
Anais Nin
The richest source of creation is feeling, followed by a vision of its meaning.
Anais Nin
Balance is not to be sought by association with others it must exist within one's self.
Anais Nin
Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.
Anais Nin
Life, religion and art all converge in Bali. They have no word in their language for 'artist' or 'art.' Everyone is an artist.
Anais Nin
I had been struck by the analogy between neurosis and romanticism. Romanticism was truly a parallel to neurosis. It demanded of reality an illusory world, love, an absolute which it could never obtain, and thus destroyed itself by the dream.
