Image
Where the myth fails, human love begins. Then we love a human being, not our dream, but a human being with flaws.
Anais Nin
Image
I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love.
Anais Nin
Image
Since desire always goes towards that which is our direct opposite, it forces us to love that which will make us suffer.
Anais Nin
Image
People who want a sane, static, measurable world take the first aspect of an event or person and stick to it, with an almost self-protective obstinacy, or by a natural limitation of their imaginations. They do not indulge in either deepening or magnifying.
Anais Nin
Image
I have seen romanticism outlast the realistic. I have seen men forget the beautiful women they have possessed, forget the prostitutes, and remember the first woman they idolized, the woman they could never have. The woman who aroused them romantically holds them.
Anais Nin
Image
If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin
Image
I want to hear raucous music, to see faces, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine. Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I never look at naive faces. I want to bite into life, and to be torn by it.

Image
The value of the personal relationship to all things is that it creates intimacy and intimacy creates understanding and understanding creates love.
Anais Nin
Image
While analyzing so many people I realized the constant need of a mother, or a father, or a god (the same thing) is really immaturity. It is a childish need, a human need, but so universal that I can see how it gave birth to all religions.

I want to make my own discoveries…….penetrate the evil which attracts me

Sexual intercourse... a joyous, joyous, joyous, joyous impaling of woman on man's sensual mast.
Anais Nin
Image
The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision.
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
One handles truths like dynamite. Literature is one vast hypocrisy, a giant deception, treachery. All writers have concealed more than they revealed.
Anais Nin
Image
It is difficult to live with the pure. They do not condemn you they forgive you. This forgiveness is more terrible than a judgment.

Tropical nights are hammocks for lovers.

I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Anais Nin
Image
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.

Convalescence. Such an utter weakness that you lie like an animal hibernating, playing possum. You float. You are adrift. Every current is stronger than you.
