More quotes by Anais Nin

Anais Nin
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
Anais Nin
The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.
Anais Nin
I write emotional algebra.
Anais Nin
We are going to the moon that is not very far. Man has so much farther to go within himself.
Anais Nin
I am a failure as a writer. The publishers won't publish me, the bookshops won't carry my books, the critics won't write about me. I am excluded from all anthologies, and completely ignored.
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits
Anais Nin

Anais Nin
I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.
Anais Nin
I have no brakes on...analysis is for those who are paralyzed by life.
Anais Nin
Solitude may rust your words.
Anais Nin
My first vision of earth was water veiled. I am of the race of men and women who see all things through this curtain of sea and my eyes are the color of water.
Anais Nin
I want to do things so wild with you that I don't know how to say them.
Anais Nin
It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin
I hate men who are afraid of women's strength.
Anais Nin
Writers do not live one life, they live two. There is the living and then there is the writing. There is the second tasting, the delayed reaction.
Anais Nin
He does not need opium. He has the gift of reverie.
Anais Nin
