Anais Nin
In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude.

Introspection is a devouring monster.
Anais Nin
The child who is uprooted begins to recognize that what he builds within himself is what will endure, what will withstand shattering experiences.
Anais Nin
There are only two kinds of freedom in the world the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions.
Anais Nin
Memory is a great betrayer.
