More quotes by Anais Nin
Physical experiences, lacking the joys of love, depend on twists and perversions of pleasure. Abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.
Anais Nin
Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you.
Anais Nin
No one should be forced to carry the unfulfilled self of another.
Anais Nin
I want to make my own discoveries…….penetrate the evil which attracts me
Anais Nin
You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too.
Anais Nin
The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom. We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Anais Nin
Hollywood is a mirage factory.

Poetry, which is our relation to the senses, enables us to retain a living relationship to all things. It is the quickest means of transportation to reach dimensions above or beyond the traps set by the so-called realists. It is a way to learn levitation and travel in liberated continents, to travel by moonlight as well as sunlight.

Anais Nin
I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.
Anais Nin
I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease.
Anais Nin
Beware of allowing a tactless word, a rebuttal, a rejection to obliterate the whole sky
Anais Nin
myself ... is merely an instrument to connect life and a myth
Anais Nin
I'm sick of my own romanticism!
Anais Nin
Your eyes make me shy
Anais Nin
Three or four threads may be agitated, like telegraph wires, at the same time, and if I were to tap them all I would reveal such a mixture of innocence and duplicity, generosity and calculation, fear and courage, I cannot tell the whole truth simply because I would have to write four journals at once.
Anais Nin
Adolescence is like cactus.
