More quotes by Anais Nin

Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Poverty is the great reality. That is why the artist seeks it.
Anais Nin
Solitude may rust your words.
Anais Nin
Love men and women not for their strength but their softness, not for their fullness but their hunger, not for their plenty but their need.
Anais Nin
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
I cheat him, I deceive him, yet the world does not sink in sulphur-colored mists. Madness conquers. I can no longer put my mosaics together. I just cry and laugh.
Anais Nin
It is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar.
Anais Nin
The morning I got up to begin this book I coughed. Something was coming out of my throat: it was strangling me. I broke the thread which held it and yanked it out. I went back to bed and said: I have just spat out my heart.
Anais Nin
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
I will not be just a tourist in a world of images.
Anais Nin
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.
Anais Nin
Great repressions create dualities.
Anais Nin
I don't hear your words: your voice reverberates against my body like another kind of caress, another kind of penetration. I have no power over your voice. It comes straight from you into me. I could stuff my ears and it would find its way into my blood and make it rise.
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
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.
Anais Nin
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
We do not see the world as it is. We see the word as we are.
Anais Nin
The love of only one man or one woman is an enclosure.
Anais Nin
She walked in the shadow of Rango with a great feeling of being taken out of herself, of having no knowledge of what was happening to her, merely a pervading sense of flow.
Anais Nin
