More quotes by Anais Nin
We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.
Anais Nin
I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated
Anais Nin
I write emotional algebra.
Anais Nin
I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously.
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
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 leaf fall of his words, the stained glass hues of his moods, the rust in his voice, the smoke in his mouth, his breath on my vision like human breath blinding a mirror.
Anais Nin
What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is.
Anais Nin
When I first met him, he did not care if a friend did not fit into his world, because at that time his world had not been born yet.
Anais Nin
We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection.
Anais Nin
If one's conscious life is too rigid, too regimented, then the surface may crack at times, and we are unprepared for the strange emotions or sensations we experience.
Anais Nin
Paris-New York, the two high tension magnetic poles between life, life of the senses, of the spirit in Paris, and life in action in New York.
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
Each friend represents a world in us.
Anais Nin
I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension
Anais Nin
Life is so fluid that one can only hope to capture the living moment, to capture it alive and fresh ... without destroying that moment.
Anais Nin
In creation alone there is the possibility of perfection.
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
People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
Pain is something to master, not to wallow in.
