More quotes by Anais Nin
What you burnt, broke, and tore is still in my hands. I am the keeper of fragile things and I have kept of you what is indissoluble.
Anais Nin
I walked into my own book, seeking peace. It was night, and I made a careless movement inside the dream I turned too brusquely the corner and I bruised myself against my madness.
Anais Nin
I have a prejudice against people with money. I have known so many, and none have escaped the corruption of power. In this I am a purist. I love people motivated by love and not by power. If you have money and power, and are motivated by love, you give it all away.
Anais Nin
Don't let one cloud obliterate the whole sky.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin
The morning I got up to begin this book I coughed. Something was coming out of my throat: it was strangling me. I broke the thread which held it and yanked it out. I went back to bed and said: I have just spat out my heart.
Anais Nin
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
I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
Anais Nin
When I am most deeply rooted, I feel the wildest desire to uproot myself.
Anais Nin
The period without the diary remains an ordeal. Every evening I want my diary as one wants opium.
Anais Nin
What everyone forgets is that passion is not merely a heightened sensual fusion but a way of life which produces, as in the mystics, an ecstatic awareness of the whole of life.
Anais Nin
A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared for, has a very good chance of eventually being fought.
Anais Nin
Now that I am moving, I am afraid. Where am I going?
Anais Nin
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.
Anais Nin
There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
