Anais Nin
Perfection is static, And I am in full progress.
Anais Nin
In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude.
Anais Nin
He does not need opium. He has the gift of reverie.
Anais Nin
The final lesson a writer learns is that everything can nourish the writer.
Anais Nin
Only when the poet and the scientist work in unison will we have living experiences and knowledge of the marvels of the universe as they are being discovered.
Anais Nin
The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.
Anais Nin
His life rushes onward in such torrential rhythm that...only angels and devils can catch the tempo of it.
