More quotes by Anais Nin
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
Anais Nin
She had acquired some of his gypsy ways, some of his nonchalance, his bohemian indiscipline. She had swung with him into the disorders of strewn clothes, spilled cigarette ashes, slipping into bed all dressed, falling asleep thus, indolence, timelessness...A region of chaos and moonlight. She liked it there.
Anais Nin
For all of my patients sensuality is a giving in to 'the low side of their nature.' Puritanism is powerful and distorts their life with a total anesthesia of the senses. If you atrophy one sense, you also atrophy all the others, a sensuous and physical connection with nature, with art, with food, with other human beings.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not dare to be herself.
Anais Nin
I was stirred only like a leaf in the wind, that is all. . .
Anais Nin
A man who lives unrelated to other human beings dies. But a man who lives unrelated to himself also dies.
Anais Nin
The obstacle became his alibi for weakness.
Anais Nin
The way to recognize a dead word is that it exudes boredom.
Anais Nin
We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.
Anais Nin
perhaps the only magician we have is the artist.
Anais Nin
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.
Anais Nin
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Anais Nin
Your eyes make me shy
Anais Nin
But the artist persists because he has the will to create, and this is the magic power which can transform and transfigure and transpose and which will ultimately be transmitted to others.
Anais Nin
