More quotes by Anais Nin
The monster I kill every day is the monster of realism. The monster who attacks me every day is destruction. Out of the duel comes the transformation. I turn destruction into creation over and over again.
Anais Nin
To think of him in the middle of the day lifts me out of ordinary living.
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
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
Write. Write until it stops hurting.
Anais Nin
I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
Anais Nin
jazz is the expression of America's romantic self, its sensual potency, its lyrical force.
Anais Nin
Nowhere is inhumanity more revealed than in hospitals.
Anais Nin
Will you come down and kiss me good night?
Anais Nin
If you are terribly truthful, the ground will always move from under you, and you will have to shift with the constantly shifting truth.
Anais Nin
I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously.
Anais Nin
In creation alone there is the possibility of perfection.
Anais Nin
A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared for, has a very good chance of eventually being fought.
Anais Nin
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we ... believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin
People living deeply have no fear of death.
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
The woman will sit eternally in the tall black armchair. I will be the one woman you will never have...excessive living weighs down the imagination: we will not live, we will only write and talk to swell the sails.
Anais Nin
Your strength is soft, indirect, delicate, tender, womanly. But it is strength just the same.
Anais Nin
Acapulco in the sunset seems like a balm it enters the blood like a drug after one inhalation of the scent of flowers, one glimpse of the bay iridescent like silk, the sunset like the inside of a shell, so much like the flesh of Venus.
Anais Nin
I was stirred only like a leaf in the wind, that is all. . .
Anais Nin
