Your eyes make me shy
Anais Nin
I will not be just a tourist in a world of images.
Anais Nin
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
He had a mania for washing and disinfecting himself. . . . For him the only danger came from the microbes that attacked the body. He had not studied the microbe of conscience which eats into the soul.
Anais Nin
We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection.
Anais Nin
Some people read to confirm their own hopelessness. Others read to be rescued from it.
Anais Nin
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin
You marry the day you realize the human defects of your love.
Anais Nin
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
The complaints of the child in us will never cease lamenting until it is consoled, answered, understood. Only then will it lie still in us, like our fears. It will die in peace and leave us what the child leaves to the man - the sense of wonder.
Anais Nin
People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
The period without the diary remains an ordeal. Every evening I want my diary as one wants opium.
Anais Nin
Convalescence. Such an utter weakness that you lie like an animal hibernating, playing possum. You float. You are adrift. Every current is stronger than you.
Anais Nin
Warmth, perfume, rugs, soft lights, books. They do not appease me. I am aware of time passing, of all the world contains that I have not seen, of all the interesting people I have not met.
Anais Nin
I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced.
Anais Nin
I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated
Anais Nin
Human beings can reach such desperate solitude that they may cross a boundary beyond which words cannot serve, and at such moments there is nothing left for them but to bark.
Anais Nin
Jazz is the music of the body.
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
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
