Anais Nin
Image

Image
Warmth, perfume, rugs, soft lights, books. They do not appease me. I am aware of time passing, of all the world contains that I have not seen, of all the interesting people I have not met.

Anais Nin
Image
Writers do not live one life, they live two. There is the living and then there is the writing. There is the second tasting, the delayed reaction.
Anais Nin
Image
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin
Image
You are the only woman who ever answered the demands of my imagination.
Anais Nin
Image
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
Anais Nin
Image
I adore the struggle you carry in yourself. I adore your terrifying sincerity.
Anais Nin
Image
Life is so fluid that one can only hope to capture the living moment, to capture it alive and fresh ... without destroying that moment.
Anais Nin
Image
I had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored.
