Anais Nin
The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision.
Anais Nin
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
We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.
Anais Nin
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin
Mature people relate to each other without the need to merge.
Anais Nin
You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead.
Anais Nin
We have been poisoned by fairy tales.
