The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Image
To love and to labor is the sum of living.
Anais Nin
Image
The preoccupation of the novelist: how to capture the living moments, was answered by the diary. You write while you are alive. You do not preserve them in alcohol until the moment you are ready to write about them.
Anais Nin
Image
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Anais Nin
Image
Sometimes we reveal ourselves when we are least like ourselves.
Anais Nin
Image
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
Image
I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.
