More quotes by Anais Nin
You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you I wished for your existence. You will always be a part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we shared, at some moment, the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.
Anais Nin
Perfection is static, And I am in full progress.
Anais Nin
A big enough artist, I say, can eat anything, must eat everything and then alchemize it. Only the feeble writer is afraid of expansion.
Anais Nin
I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated
Anais Nin
Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.
Anais Nin
I can elect something I love and absorb myself in it.
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
The core of creation is to summon an image and the power to work with the image.
Anais Nin
You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars.
Anais Nin
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Anais Nin
One discovers that destiny can be diverted, that one does not have to remain in bondage to the first wax imprint made on childhood sensibilities. Once the deforming mirror has been smashed, there is a possibility of wholeness. There is a possibility of joy.
Anais Nin
I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love.
Anais Nin
Write. Write until it stops hurting.
Anais Nin
I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don't know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness. In reality those who satisfy me are those who simply allow me to live with my ''idea of them.
Anais Nin
Houses turn to corpses overnight when we cease to live and love in them.
Anais Nin
The Frenchman, by nature, is sensuous and sensitive. He has intelligence, which makes him tired of life sooner than other kinds of men. He is not athletic: he sees the futility of the pursuit of fame the climate at times depresses him.
Anais Nin
For too many centuries women have been being muses to artists. I wanted to be the muse, I wanted to be the wife of the artist, but I was really trying to avoid the final issue — that I had to do the job myself.
Anais Nin
I have no brakes on...analysis is for those who are paralyzed by life.
Anais Nin
I miss the animal buoyancy of New York, the animal vitality. I did not mind that it had no meaning and no depth.
Anais Nin
The basis of insincerity is the idealized image we hold of ourselves and wish to impose on others.
