More quotes by Anais Nin
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
Anais Nin
Also, I do not like the companionship of women. They are petty and personal. They hang on to their mysteries and secrets, they act and pretend. I like the character of men better.
Anais Nin
I don't hear your words: your voice reverberates against my body like another kind of caress, another kind of penetration. I have no power over your voice. It comes straight from you into me. I could stuff my ears and it would find its way into my blood and make it rise.
Anais Nin
The Frenchman, by nature, is sensuous and sensitive. He has intelligence, which makes him tired of life sooner than other kinds of men. He is not athletic: he sees the futility of the pursuit of fame the climate at times depresses him.
Anais Nin
He understands my pity for his ridiculous, humiliating physical necessity.
Anais Nin
When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
Anais Nin
Physical experiences, lacking the joys of love, depend on twists and perversions of pleasure. Abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.
Anais Nin
I gathered poets around me and we all wrote beautiful erotica. As we were condemned to focus only on sensuality, we had violent explosions of poetry. Writing erotica became a road to sainthood rather than to debauchery.
Anais Nin
Analysis does not take into account the creative products of neurotic desires.
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.
Anais Nin
You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living.
Anais Nin
Compassion for our parents is the true sign of maturity.
Anais Nin
I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously.
Anais Nin
I did not feel drawn to huxley. He was beautiful physically but again without vibrations or sensory antennae... and I had a painful impression of a psychic blindness. With all his science and knowledge, in the mystic world he blundered.
Anais Nin
You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars.
Anais Nin
Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.
Anais Nin
Will you come down and kiss me good night?
Anais Nin
Anxiety is love's greatest killer, because it is like the stranglehold of the drowning.
Anais Nin
At a lecture I am asked to pronounce my name three times. I try to be slow and emphatic, Anaïs - Anaïs - Anaïs. You just say Anna and then add ees, with the accent on the ees.
Anais Nin
Passion gives me moments of wholeness.
