The dream has to be translated into reality.
Anais Nin
Image
Death from disillusion is not instantaneous, and there are no mercy killers for the disillusioned.
Anais Nin
Image
Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.
Anais Nin
Image
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
Image
I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.
Anais Nin
Image
To the woman with the least intelligence, there must come, at some time or other, the realization that housework is animal work and that there are other occupations in the world a thousand times more refined, more enriching, for which she is also suited and to which she has a right.

Image
A big enough artist, I say, can eat anything, must eat everything and then alchemize it. Only the feeble writer is afraid of expansion.

Image
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

Anais Nin
Image
I either eat too much or starve myself. Sleep for 14 hours or have insomniac nights. Fall in love very hard or hate passionately. I don't know what grey is. I never did.
Anais Nin
Image
Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me. I escape, one way or another. No more walls.
Anais Nin
Image
To commit suicide is easy. To live without a god is more difficult. The drunkenness of triumph is greater than the drunkenness of sacrifice.
Anais Nin
Image
Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.
Anais Nin
Image
You live out the confusions until they become clear.
Anais Nin
Image
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
Image
Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
Anais Nin
Image
My life is slowed up by thought and the need to understand what I am living.
Anais Nin
Image
Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite.
Anais Nin
Image
Art is the method of levitation, in order to separate one's self from enslavement by the earth.
