... America is the greatest humiliator in existence. It is always cultivating the power you get from humiliating others.
Anais Nin
Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.
Anais Nin
I can’t let you go now. I want to go places with you obscure little places, just to be able to say: here I came with her.
Anais Nin
I prefer empty cages, Sabina, until I find a unique bird I once saw in my dreams.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin

Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Death from disillusion is not instantaneous, and there are no mercy killers for the disillusioned.
Anais Nin
My trunk, valises and my mind are overpacked.
Anais Nin
The real wonders of life lie in the depths. Exploring the depths for truths is the real wonder which the child and the artist know: magic and power lie in truth.
Anais Nin
I can elect something I love and absorb myself in it.
Anais Nin
The unknown was my compass. The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress.
Anais Nin
I wanted to remember in order to be able to return.
Anais Nin
We are going to the moon that is not very far. Man has so much farther to go within himself.
Anais Nin
Is devotion to others a cover for the hungers and the needs of the self, of which one is ashamed? I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not virtue. It was a disguise.
Anais Nin
