We cannot cure the evils of politics with politics.
Anais Nin
Image
When I am most deeply rooted, I feel the wildest desire to uproot myself.
Anais Nin
Image
I want to love you wildly. I don’t want words, but inarticulate cries, meaningless, from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy, that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced.
Anais Nin
Image
The woman will sit eternally in the tall black armchair. I will be the one woman you will never have...excessive living weighs down the imagination: we will not live, we will only write and talk to swell the sails.
Anais Nin
Image
I can elect something I love and absorb myself in it.
Anais Nin
Image
We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste. When it is finished, it is not finished, we lie still in each other's arms lulled by our love, by tenderness -- sensuality in which the whole being can participate.

Eroticism is one of the basic means of self-knowledge, as indispensable as poetry.
