Anais Nin
I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Anais Nin
For too many centuries women have been being muses to artists. I wanted to be the muse, I wanted to be the wife of the artist, but I was really trying to avoid the final issue — that I had to do the job myself.
Anais Nin
If one's conscious life is too rigid, too regimented, then the surface may crack at times, and we are unprepared for the strange emotions or sensations we experience.
Anais Nin
If a person continues to see giants, it means he is still looking at the world through the eyes of a child.
Anais Nin
There is an ugliness in being paid for work one does not like.
Anais Nin
I have this weird obsession about buying books and looking at them with a smile, even if I won't read them soon. At least they are mine now.
Anais Nin
Each friend represents a world in us.
