I want to do things so wild with you that I don't know how to say them.
Anais Nin
Image
The basis of insincerity is the idealized image we hold of ourselves and wish to impose on others.
Anais Nin
Image
I am like a snake who has already bitten. I retreat from a direct battle while knowing the slow effect of the poison.

Image
Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.
Anais Nin
Image
Analysis does not take into account the creative products of neurotic desires.
Anais Nin
Image
Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again.
Anais Nin
Image
We are all engaged in the task of peeling off the false selves, the programmed selves, the selves created by our families, our culture, our religions. It is an enormous task because the history of women has been as incompletely told as the history of blacks.

Not afraid of poverty and drabness and who is untouched by it, untouched by the drunkenness of her friends (she) who judges, selects, discards people with severity, who knows, when she is telling her endless anecdotes, that they are ways of escape, keeping herself all the more secret behind that profuse talk.

Anais Nin
Image

Image
Our psychological reality, which lies below the surface, frightens us because it endlessly surprises us and drives us in a direction which society's rules and organizations define as wrong or dangerous.
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.

The complaints of the child in us will never cease lamenting until it is consoled, answered, understood. Only then will it lie still in us, like our fears. It will die in peace and leave us what the child leaves to the man - the sense of wonder.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.
