All that is sacred and taboo in the world are meaningless.
Anais Nin
Image
Because history is only an aggregate of personal hostilities, personal prejudices, personal blindness and irrationality, there are times when we have to live against it.
Anais Nin
Image
There is no denying that we are suffering from a collective neurosis and the novel which does not face this is not a novel of our time.
Anais Nin
Image
We sit on the kitchen exchanging these diabolical outgrowths of overfertile minds.
Anais Nin
Image

Anais Nin
Image
We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them.

Anais Nin
Image
I have no fear of God, and yet fear keeps me awake at night,fear of the devil. And if I believe in the devil, I must believe in God. And if evil is abhorrent to me, I must be a saint. Henry, save me from beatification, from the horrors of static perfection. Precipitate me into the inferno.
Anais Nin
Image
All of my creation is an effort to weave a web of connection with the world: I am always weaving it because it was once broken.
Anais Nin
Image
Ordinary life does not interest me.
Anais Nin
Image
destruction is ultimately self-destruction.
Anais Nin
Image
It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all.
Anais Nin
Image
When I am most deeply rooted, I feel the wildest desire to uproot myself.
Anais Nin
Image
The fiery moments of passionate experience are the moments of wholeness and totality of the personality.
