Anais Nin
The preoccupation of the novelist: how to capture the living moments, was answered by the diary. You write while you are alive. You do not preserve them in alcohol until the moment you are ready to write about them.
Anais Nin
This diary is my kief, hashish and opium pipe. This is my drug and my vice.
Anais Nin
To love and to labor is the sum of living.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
You marry the day you realize the human defects of your love.
Anais Nin
I find that life, day by day, is composed of at least one joy, one problem and one sorrow.
