Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Anais Nin
Image
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.

Image
I was thinking of my patients, and how the worst moment for them was when they discovered they were masters of their own fate. It was not a matter of bad or good luck. When they could no longer blame fate, they were in despair.

Image
Not afraid of poverty and drabness and who is untouched by it, untouched by the drunkenness of her friends (she) who judges, selects, discards people with severity, who knows, when she is telling her endless anecdotes, that they are ways of escape, keeping herself all the more secret behind that profuse talk.
Anais Nin
Image
We did not touch each other. We were both leaning over the abyss.
Anais Nin
Image
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

The fiery moments of passionate experience are the moments of wholeness and totality of the personality.
Anais Nin
Image
It is difficult to live with the pure. They do not condemn you they forgive you. This forgiveness is more terrible than a judgment.
Anais Nin
Image
I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me, will weaken me, and make me tremble and soften and melt.
