Anais Nin

Anais Nin
No one should be forced to carry the unfulfilled self of another.
Anais Nin
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

Anais Nin
A trite word is an overused word which has lost its identity like an old coat in a second-hand shop. The familiar grows dull and we no longer see, hear, or taste it.
Anais Nin
There is a fissure in my vision and madness will always rush through.
Anais Nin
Our love lives because I live.
Anais Nin
Hollywood is a mirage factory.
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
It is in the movements of emotional crisis that human beings reveal themselves most accurately.
Anais Nin
I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced.
