More quotes by Anais Nin
All the art of analysis consists in saying a truth only when the other person is ready for it, has been prepared for it by an organic process of gradation and evolution.
Anais Nin
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
Anais Nin
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.
Anais Nin
We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them.
Anais Nin
I would like to have your sureness. I am waiting for love, the core of a woman's life. Don't wait for it, I said. Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened to me.
Anais Nin
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin
Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you.
Anais Nin
Perfection is static, And I am in full progress.
Anais Nin
Art is the method of levitation, in order to separate one's self from enslavement by the earth.
Anais Nin
Writers do not live one life, they live two. There is the living and then there is the writing. There is the second tasting, the delayed reaction.
Anais Nin
The artist is the only one who knows that the world is a subjective creation, that there is a choice to be made, a selection of elements.
Anais Nin
I want to make my own discoveries…….penetrate the evil which attracts me
Anais Nin
The core of creation is to summon an image and the power to work with the image.
Anais Nin
Truth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.
Anais Nin
The creative personality never remains fixed on the first world it discovers. It never resigns itself to anything.
Anais Nin
Solitude may rust your words.
Anais Nin
In my dreams I sleep with everybody.
Anais Nin
Poetry, which is our relation to the senses, enables us to retain a living relationship to all things. It is the quickest means of transportation to reach dimensions above or beyond the traps set by the so-called realists. It is a way to learn levitation and travel in liberated continents, to travel by moonlight as well as sunlight.
Anais Nin
Things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are
Anais Nin
He, who had done more than any human being to draw her out of the caves of her secret, folded life, now threw her down into deeper recesses of fear and doubt. The fall was greater than she had ever known, because she had ventured so far into emotion and had abandoned herself to it.
Anais Nin
