Anais Nin

When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness.

Anais Nin
Image
To withhold from living is to die ... the more you give of yourself to life the more life nourishes you.
Anais Nin
Image
Not afraid of poverty and drabness and who is untouched by it, untouched by the drunkenness of her friends (she) who judges, selects, discards people with severity, who knows, when she is telling her endless anecdotes, that they are ways of escape, keeping herself all the more secret behind that profuse talk.
Anais Nin
Image
I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Anais Nin
Image
There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don't work.
Anais Nin
Image
If a person continues to see giants, it means he is still looking at the world through the eyes of a child.
Anais Nin
Image
Worlds self made are so full of monsters and demons.
