Image

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.

Image
Jazz is the music of the body.
Anais Nin
Image
You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you I wished for your existence. You will always be a part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we shared, at some moment, the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.
Anais Nin
Image
... and the very folds of the curtains contained secrets and sighs.
Anais Nin
Image
Physical experiences, lacking the joys of love, depend on twists and perversions of pleasure. Abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.
Anais Nin
Image
I must know, he thinks. It must be clear to me. There is a world which is closed to him, a world of shadings, gradations, nuances, and subtleties. He is a genius and yet he is too explicit. June slips between his fingers. You cannot posses without loving.
