More quotes by Anais Nin
Stations and airports are rehearsals for separations by death.
Anais Nin
For all of my patients sensuality is a giving in to 'the low side of their nature.' Puritanism is powerful and distorts their life with a total anesthesia of the senses. If you atrophy one sense, you also atrophy all the others, a sensuous and physical connection with nature, with art, with food, with other human beings.
Anais Nin
In every relationship, sooner or later, there is a court scene. Accusations, counter-accusations, a trial, a verdict.
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
You are the only woman who ever answered the demands of my imagination.
Anais Nin
Dreams are essential to life.

Anais Nin
Write. Write until it stops hurting.
Anais Nin
I palliate the sufferings of others. yes I see myself as softening the blows, dissolving acids, neutralizing poisons, every moment of the day. I try to fulfill the wishes of others, to perform miracles. I exert myself performing miracles.
Anais Nin
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
Anais Nin
Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again.
Anais Nin
..he made me understand something very important. Whether because I am a Latin, or because I am a neurotic, I have a need of gestures. I am myself expressive, demonstrative every feeling I have takes on expression: words, gestures, signs, letters, articulateness or action. I need this in others.
Anais Nin
I write emotional algebra.
Anais Nin
The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive.
Anais Nin
One discovers that destiny can be diverted, that one does not have to remain in bondage to the first wax imprint made on childhood sensibilities. Once the deforming mirror has been smashed, there is a possibility of wholeness. There is a possibility of joy.
