More quotes by Anais Nin
I love man as creator, lover, husband, friend, but man the father I do not trust. I do not believe in man as father. I do not trust man as father.
Anais Nin
You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living.

I am aware of being in a beautiful prison, from which I can only escape by writing.
Anais Nin
We are beginning to see the influence of dream upon reality and reality upon dream.

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
To write at the same temperature at which I live I should write nothing but poetry.
Anais Nin
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin
The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic.
Anais Nin
For all of my patients sensuality is a giving in to 'the low side of their nature.' Puritanism is powerful and distorts their life with a total anesthesia of the senses. If you atrophy one sense, you also atrophy all the others, a sensuous and physical connection with nature, with art, with food, with other human beings.
