More quotes by Anais Nin
When I cannot bear outer pressures anymore, I begin to put order in my belongings...As if unable to organize and control my life, I seek to exert this on the world of objects.
Anais Nin
It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all.
Anais Nin
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
Anais Nin
Pain is something to master, not to wallow in.
Anais Nin
I only believe in fire. Life. Fire. Being myself on fire I set others on fire. Never death. Fire and life.
Anais Nin
The richest source of creation is feeling, followed by a vision of its meaning.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
We cannot cure the evils of politics with politics.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
I know why families were created with all their imperfections. They humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself occasionally, so that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed.
Anais Nin
My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles. I weep when I find others play them for me. My real self is unknown. My work is merely an essence of this vast and deep adventure.
Anais Nin
Nature forms us for ourselves, not for others to be, not to seem.
Anais Nin
The inner chambers of the soul are like the photographer's darkroom. Like a laboratory. One cannot stay there all the time or it becomes the solitary cell of the neurotic.
Anais Nin
The bed must be a beautiful place, not only because you make love there but because you dream there as well.
Anais Nin
When I hear of people who weary of each other, I believe it is because they have sought virtues in themselves alone, attractions of physical beauty. Have they based their love on each other's thoughts? Who can weary of thoughts which change every day?
Anais Nin
I don't wish power, only art -art and passion.
Anais Nin
I love man as creator, lover, husband, friend, but man the father I do not trust. I do not believe in man as father. I do not trust man as father.
Anais Nin
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin
All the art of analysis consists in saying a truth only when the other person is ready for it, has been prepared for it by an organic process of gradation and evolution.
