More quotes by Anais Nin

I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me, will weaken me, and make me tremble and soften and melt.
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
Acapulco in the sunset seems like a balm it enters the blood like a drug after one inhalation of the scent of flowers, one glimpse of the bay iridescent like silk, the sunset like the inside of a shell, so much like the flesh of Venus.
Anais Nin
it was while helping others to be free that I gained my own freedom.
Anais Nin
All that is sacred and taboo in the world are meaningless.
Anais Nin
Poetry is the alchemy which teaches us to convert ordinary materials into gold.
