More quotes by Anais Nin
I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Secrets. Need to disguise. The novel was born of this.
Anais Nin
The ivory tower of the artist may be the only stronghold left for human values, cultural treasures, man’s cult of beauty.

Anais Nin
I can elect something I love and absorb myself in it.
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
I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease.
Anais Nin
I spell 'god' with a small 'g' because I do not believe in him, but I love to swear by him.
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
I have so strong a sense of creation, of tomorrow, that I cannot get drunk, knowing I will be less alive, less well, less creative the next day.
