More quotes by Anais Nin
I believe that in judging our actions we are more severe than professional judges. We judge not only our actions, but our thoughts, our intentions, our secret curses, our hidden hate.
Anais Nin
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin
Creation which cannot express itself becomes madness.
Anais Nin
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin
Human beings can reach such desperate solitude that they may cross a boundary beyond which words cannot serve, and at such moments there is nothing left for them but to bark.
Anais Nin
Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.
Anais Nin
The impetus to grow and live intensely is so powerful in me I cannot resist it. I will work, I will love my husband, but I will fulfill myself.
Anais Nin
Convalescence. Such an utter weakness that you lie like an animal hibernating, playing possum. You float. You are adrift. Every current is stronger than you.
Anais Nin
The only transformer and alchemist that turns everything into gold is love. The only magic against death, aging, ordinary life, is love.
Anais Nin
Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.
Anais Nin
I am quite wiling to confide entirely in human being, except that at some moment or another human beings get preoccupied, moody, busy, inattentive, and there come an end to the interest, and this never happens in a journal!
Anais Nin
Eroticism is one of the basic means of self-knowledge, as indispensable as poetry.
Anais Nin
Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.
Anais Nin
Coming near him like a ballet dancer she took a leap towards him, and he, frightened by her vehemence, and fearing that she would crash against him, instinctively became absolutely rigid, and she felt herself embracing a statue.
Anais Nin
You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead.
Anais Nin
I don't hear your words: your voice reverberates against my body like another kind of caress, another kind of penetration. I have no power over your voice. It comes straight from you into me. I could stuff my ears and it would find its way into my blood and make it rise.
Anais Nin
New York seems conducted by jazz, animated by it. It is essentially a city of rhythm.
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
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
Anais Nin
The unknown was my compass. The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress.
