More quotes by Anais Nin
My diary seems to keep me whole.
Anais Nin
Will you come down and kiss me good night?
Anais Nin
atrophy of feeling creates criminals.
Anais Nin
Expressing feelings is linked directly with creation... In this ability to tap the sources of feeling and imagination lies the secret of abundance.
Anais Nin
I love man as creator, lover, husband, friend, but man the father I do not trust. I do not believe in man as father. I do not trust man as father.
Anais Nin
Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.
Anais Nin
I sat there for three hours and did not feel the time or the boredom of our talk and its foolish disconnection. As long as I could hear his voice, I was quite lost, quite blind, quite outside my own self.
Anais Nin
She makes use of the soft of the bread for a napkin. She falls asleep at times with shoes on, on unmade beds. When a little money comes in, June buys delicacies, strawberries in the winter, caviar and bath salts.
Anais Nin
I had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored.
Anais Nin
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.
Anais Nin
The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.
Anais Nin
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
To mistake ugliness for reality is one of the frauds of the realistic school [of writing]. A hunger for the unknown and an aspiration toward beauty were inseparable from civilization. In America the word art was distorted to mean artificial.
Anais Nin
I hate men who are afraid of women's strength.
Anais Nin
With her eyes alone she could give this response, this absolutely erotic response, as if febrile waves were trembling there, pools of madness... something devouring that could lick a man all over like a flame, annihilate him, with a pleasure never known before.
Anais Nin
A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared for, has a very good chance of eventually being fought.
Anais Nin
Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
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
I will always be the virgin-prostitute, the perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly woman.
Anais Nin
One may gain one truth at the expense of another.
