More quotes by Anais Nin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Anais Nin
There is a resemblance between men and women, not a contrast. When a man begins to recognize his feeling, the two unite. When men accept the sensitive side of themselves, they come alive.
Anais Nin
There are only two kinds of freedom in the world the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions.
Anais Nin
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin
Through love, through friendship, a heart lives more than one life.
Anais Nin
My diary seems to keep me whole.
Anais Nin
The truly faithless one is the one who makes love to only a fraction of you. And denies the rest.
Anais Nin
Either one fails in one's art or in one's life.
Anais Nin
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
One handles truths like dynamite. Literature is one vast hypocrisy, a giant deception, treachery. All writers have concealed more than they revealed.
Anais Nin
He understands my pity for his ridiculous, humiliating physical necessity.
Anais Nin
I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.
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 speak of the masculine and the feminine, but they are the wrong labels. It is really more a matter of poetry versus intellectualization.
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
[On Paris:] A city never entirely known, yet which gives you the feeling of intimacy, of possessing it intimately.
Anais Nin
Things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are
Anais Nin
To think of him in the middle of the day lifts me out of ordinary living.
Anais Nin
I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.
Anais Nin
To change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one's mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use.
Anais Nin
