More quotes by Anais Nin
To write is to descend, to excavate, to go underground.
Anais Nin
One handles truths like dynamite. Literature is one vast hypocrisy, a giant deception, treachery. All writers have concealed more than they revealed.
Anais Nin
In music I feel most deeply the passing of things.
Anais Nin
His life rushes onward in such torrential rhythm that...only angels and devils can catch the tempo of it.
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
The basis of insincerity is the idealized image we hold of ourselves and wish to impose on others.
Anais Nin
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
Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me. I escape, one way or another. No more walls.
Anais Nin
I often see how you sob over what you destroy, how you want to stop and just worship and you do stop, and then a moment later you are at it again with a knife, like a surgeon.
Anais Nin
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin
I was stirred only like a leaf in the wind, that is all. . .
Anais Nin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
Anais Nin
In my dreams I sleep with everybody.
Anais Nin
Only when the poet and the scientist work in unison will we have living experiences and knowledge of the marvels of the universe as they are being discovered.
Anais Nin
When I don't write, I feel my world shrinking. I feel I am in a prison. I feel I lose my fire and my color. It should be a necessity, as the sea needs to heave, and I call it breathing.
Anais Nin
I know why families were created with all their imperfections. They humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself occasionally, so that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed.
Anais Nin
I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Anais Nin
We celebrate peace. Yet we pay no attention to the ways of curing aggression in human beings. And when one sees in psychoanalysis hostility disappearing as people conquer their fears, one wonders if the cure is not there.
Anais Nin
A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.
Anais Nin
Introspection is a devouring monster.
