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.

Image
I believe the lasting revolution comes from deep changes in ourselves which influence our collective life.
Anais Nin
Image
It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin
Image
No one should be forced to carry the unfulfilled self of another.
Anais Nin
Image
I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.
Anais Nin
Image
I adore the struggle you carry in yourself. I adore your terrifying sincerity.

Image
There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
Anais Nin
Image
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
Image
I am quite wiling to confide entirely in human being, except that at some moment or another human beings get preoccupied, moody, busy, inattentive, and there come an end to the interest, and this never happens in a journal!

Image
Perhaps a child, like a cat, is so much inside of himself that he does not see himself in the mirror.
Anais Nin
Image
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.

We love best those who are, or act for us, a self we do not wish to be or act out.
Anais Nin
Image
Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.
Anais Nin
Image
the best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing.
Anais Nin
Image
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
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
We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.

All unlived emotions turn to inanity.
Anais Nin
Image
To lie, of course, is to engender insanity.
