More quotes by Anais Nin
My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles. I weep when I find others play them for me. My real self is unknown. My work is merely an essence of this vast and deep adventure.
Anais Nin
Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.
Anais Nin
There is no denying that we are suffering from a collective neurosis and the novel which does not face this is not a novel of our time.
Anais Nin
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
destruction is ultimately self-destruction.
Anais Nin
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

Anais Nin
Physical experiences, lacking the joys of love, depend on twists and perversions of pleasure. Abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.
Anais Nin
I needed to live, but I also needed to record what I lived.
Anais Nin
I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
Anais Nin
I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love.
Anais Nin
If I love you it means we share the same fantasies, the same madnesses
Anais Nin
When I first met him, he did not care if a friend did not fit into his world, because at that time his world had not been born yet.
Anais Nin
Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.
Anais Nin
I will always be the virgin-prostitute, the perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly woman.
Anais Nin
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.
Anais Nin
Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.
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
