My life is slowed up by thought and the need to understand what I am living.
Anais Nin
Image
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

This image of herself as a not ordinary women, an image which was trembling now in his eyes, might suddenly disappear. Nothing more difficult to live up to than men's dreams.
Anais Nin
Image
Asia discovered two remedies for the cruelty of man, art and religion. America discarded both and is drowning in hate and aggressivity.
Anais Nin
Image
I have so strong a sense of creation, of tomorrow, that I cannot get drunk, knowing I will be less alive, less well, less creative the next day.
Anais Nin
Image
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
Anais Nin
Image
Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.

Image
The Frenchman, by nature, is sensuous and sensitive. He has intelligence, which makes him tired of life sooner than other kinds of men. He is not athletic: he sees the futility of the pursuit of fame the climate at times depresses him.

Travel is seeking the lost paradise. It is the supreme illusion of love.
Anais Nin
Image
Expressing feelings is linked directly with creation... In this ability to tap the sources of feeling and imagination lies the secret of abundance.
Anais Nin
Image
Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
