More quotes by Anais Nin
My trunk, valises and my mind are overpacked.
Anais Nin
I will not be just a tourist in a world of images.
Anais Nin
What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is.
Anais Nin
The violence and obscenity are left unadulterated, as manifestation of the mystery and pain which ever accompanies the act of creation.
Anais Nin
What you burnt, broke, and tore is still in my hands. I am the keeper of fragile things and I have kept of you what is indissoluble.
Anais Nin
We sit on the kitchen exchanging these diabolical outgrowths of overfertile minds.
Anais Nin
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Anais Nin
the best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing.
Anais Nin
We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.
Anais Nin
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
Anais Nin
For you and for me the highest moment, the keenest joy, is not when our minds dominate but when we lose our minds, and you and I both lose it in the same way, through love.
Anais Nin
To the woman with the least intelligence, there must come, at some time or other, the realization that housework is animal work and that there are other occupations in the world a thousand times more refined, more enriching, for which she is also suited and to which she has a right.
Anais Nin
When one is pretending the entire body revolts.
Anais Nin
Innocence was gone from all our acts. Our habitual state of rebellion became a serious political crime.
Anais Nin
I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.
Anais Nin
Introspection is a devouring monster.
Anais Nin
We do not see the world as it is. We see the word as we are.
Anais Nin
The self is merely the lens through which we see others and the world.
Anais Nin
We are all engaged in the task of peeling off the false selves, the programmed selves, the selves created by our families, our culture, our religions. It is an enormous task because the history of women has been as incompletely told as the history of blacks.
Anais Nin
I sat there for three hours and did not feel the time or the boredom of our talk and its foolish disconnection. As long as I could hear his voice, I was quite lost, quite blind, quite outside my own self.
Anais Nin
