More quotes by Anais Nin
The way to recognize a dead word is that it exudes boredom.
Anais Nin
There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
Anais Nin
I can’t let you go now. I want to go places with you obscure little places, just to be able to say: here I came with her.
Anais Nin
I needed to live, but I also needed to record what I lived.
Anais Nin
Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.
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
If you are terribly truthful, the ground will always move from under you, and you will have to shift with the constantly shifting truth.
Anais Nin
Nature forms us for ourselves, not for others to be, not to seem.
Anais Nin
She walked in the shadow of Rango with a great feeling of being taken out of herself, of having no knowledge of what was happening to her, merely a pervading sense of flow.
Anais Nin
If a person continues to see only giants, it means he is still seeing the world through the eyes of a child. I have a feeling that man's fear of woman comes from having first seen her as the mother, creator of men.
Anais Nin
I miss the animal buoyancy of New York, the animal vitality. I did not mind that it had no meaning and no depth.
Anais Nin
I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease.
Anais Nin
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin
You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you I wished for your existence. You will always be a part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we shared, at some moment, the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.
Anais Nin
You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars.
Anais Nin
We are never trapped unless we choose to be.
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
I am quite wiling to confide entirely in human being, except that at some moment or another human beings get preoccupied, moody, busy, inattentive, and there come an end to the interest, and this never happens in a journal!
Anais Nin
When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with.
Anais Nin
I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.
Anais Nin
