When I stand at the top of the Champs-Elysées, with its chestnut trees in flower, its undulations of shining cars, its white spaciousness, I feel as if I were biting into a utopian fruit, something velvety and lustrous and rich and vivid.

More quotes by Anais Nin
I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
Anais Nin
If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.
Anais Nin
I must know, he thinks. It must be clear to me. There is a world which is closed to him, a world of shadings, gradations, nuances, and subtleties. He is a genius and yet he is too explicit. June slips between his fingers. You cannot posses without loving.
Anais Nin
Worlds self made are so full of monsters and demons.
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
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Anais Nin
I have no brakes on...analysis is for those who are paralyzed by life.

New York seems conducted by jazz, animated by it. It is essentially a city of rhythm.
Anais Nin
The important task of literature is to free man, not to censor him, and that is why Puritanism was the most destructive and evil force which ever oppressed people and their literature: it created hypocrisy, perversion, fears, sterility.
Anais Nin
it was while helping others to be free that I gained my own freedom.
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 acquired the certainty of the expansion of time by depth of emotion, range and infinite multiplicity of experience.
Anais Nin
I needed to live, but I also needed to record what I lived.
Anais Nin
In every relationship, sooner or later, there is a court scene. Accusations, counter-accusations, a trial, a verdict.
Anais Nin
There is a fissure in my vision and madness will always rush through.
Anais Nin
The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body. Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls, so sensuality traverses the body and reaches up to ecstasy.
Anais Nin
If I fall asleep, it is because I am overloaded. I sleep because one hour with Henry contains five years of my life, and one phrase, one caress answers the expectations of a hundred nights. When I hear him laugh, I say, I have heard Rabelais.. And I swallow his laughter like bread and wine.
Anais Nin
New York has an electronic heart.
