gold never comes to the dreamers - except in dreams.
Anais Nin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
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
The preoccupation of the novelist: how to capture the living moments, was answered by the diary. You write while you are alive. You do not preserve them in alcohol until the moment you are ready to write about them.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.
Anais Nin
A big enough artist, I say, can eat anything, must eat everything and then alchemize it. Only the feeble writer is afraid of expansion.
Anais Nin
Sexual intercourse... a joyous, joyous, joyous, joyous impaling of woman on man's sensual mast.
Anais Nin
All of my creation is an effort to weave a web of connection with the world: I am always weaving it because it was once broken.
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
Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.
Anais Nin
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Anais Nin
Out of the red and silver and the long cry of alarm to the poet who survives in all human beings, as the child survives in him to this poet she threw an unexpected ladder in the middle of the city and ordained, 'Climb!
Anais Nin
You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living.
