More quotes by Anais Nin
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
willingness to explore everything is a sign of strength. The weak ones have prejudices. Prejudices are a protection.
Anais Nin
Paris-New York, the two high tension magnetic poles between life, life of the senses, of the spirit in Paris, and life in action in New York.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
You cannot save people. You can only love them.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin

Anais Nin
The core of creation is to summon an image and the power to work with the image.
Anais Nin
The monster I kill every day is the monster of realism. The monster who attacks me every day is destruction. Out of the duel comes the transformation. I turn destruction into creation over and over again.
Anais Nin
Death from disillusion is not instantaneous, and there are no mercy killers for the disillusioned.
Anais Nin
perhaps the only magician we have is the artist.
Anais Nin
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
Anais Nin
The complaints of the child in us will never cease lamenting until it is consoled, answered, understood. Only then will it lie still in us, like our fears. It will die in peace and leave us what the child leaves to the man - the sense of wonder.
Anais Nin
New York has an electronic heart.
Anais Nin
I wanted to remember in order to be able to return.
