Analysis does not take into account the creative products of neurotic desires.
Anais Nin
Image
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
Anais Nin
Image
At first she beckoned and lured one into her world then, she blurred the passageways, confused all the images, as if to elude detection.
Anais Nin
Image
myself ... is merely an instrument to connect life and a myth
Anais Nin
Image
People who want a sane, static, measurable world take the first aspect of an event or person and stick to it, with an almost self-protective obstinacy, or by a natural limitation of their imaginations. They do not indulge in either deepening or magnifying.
Anais Nin
Image
People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
Image
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

Image
Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

Image
We speak of the masculine and the feminine, but they are the wrong labels. It is really more a matter of poetry versus intellectualization.
Anais Nin
Image
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
Anais Nin
Image
There is no bleaker moment in life of the city than that one which crosses the boundary lines between those who have not slept all night and those who are going to work. It was for Sabina as if two races of men and women lived on earth, the night people and the day people, never meeting face to face except at this moment.
Anais Nin
Image
I love your silences, they are like mine. You are the only being before whom I am not distressed by my own silences. You have a vehement silence, one feels it is charged with essences, it is a strangely alive silence, like a trap open over a well, from which one can hear the secret murmur of the earth itself.

Image
He was jealous of her future, and she of his past.
Anais Nin
Image
Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate. I hate murderously.
Anais Nin
Image
That is my essential reason for writing, not for fame, not to be celebrated after death, but to heighten and create life all around me. I also write because when I am writing I reach the high moment of fusion sought by the mystics, the poets, the lovers, a sense of communion with the universe.

The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive.
Anais Nin
Image
I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me, will weaken me, and make me tremble and soften and melt.
Anais Nin
Image
The source of sexual power is curiosity, passion. You are watching its little flame die of asphyxiation.

Each friend represents a world in us.

Anxiety is love's greatest killer, because it is like the stranglehold of the drowning.
