Anais Nin Quotes

She makes use of the soft of the bread for a napkin. She falls asleep at times with shoes on, on unmade beds. When a little money comes in, June buys delicacies, strawberries in the winter, caviar and bath salts Picture Quote #1

I want to hear raucous music, to see faces, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine. Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I never look at naive faces. I want to bite into life, and to be torn by it Picture Quote #1

We speak of the masculine and the feminine, but they are the wrong labels. It is really more a matter of poetry versus intellectualization Picture Quote #1

I had a feeling that Pandora’s box contained the mysteries of woman’s sensuality, so different from a man’s and for which man’s language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated Picture Quote #1

The secret of life was Breath. That was what I always wanted my words to do, to Breathe Picture Quote #1

I miss the animal buoyancy of New York, the animal vitality. I did not mind that it had no meaning and no depth Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The imagination is far better at inventing tortures than life because the imagination is a demon within us and it knows where to strike, where it hurts. It knows the vulnerable spot, and life does not, our friends and lovers do not, because seldom do they have the imagination equal to the task Picture Quote #1

I never liked the language of Henry Miller. I don’t think pornography has added to our sensual life Picture Quote #1

I can’t let you go now. I want to go places with you; obscure little places, just to be able to say: here I came with her Picture Quote #1

You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead Picture Quote #1

Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously. For example now, I hate the bank and everything connected with it. I also hate Dutch paintings, penis-sucking, parties, and cold rainy weather. But I am much more preoccupied with loving Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

She abandoned herself to his whim, thinking it was to be an orgy of eyes and hands only Picture Quote #1

Life shrinks or expands according to one's courage Picture Quote #1

When one is pretending the entire body revolts Picture Quote #1

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage Picture Quote #1

He does not need opium. He has the gift of reverie Picture Quote #1

When you possess light within, you see it externally Picture Quote #1

It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it Picture Quote #1

Good things happen to those who hustle Picture Quote #1

What I cannot love, I overlook. Is that real friendship? Picture Quote #1

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness Picture Quote #1

In creation alone there is the possibility of perfection Picture Quote #1

The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic Picture Quote #1

Life is a process of becoming. A combination of states we have to go through Picture Quote #1

In music I feel most deeply the passing of things Picture Quote #1

Tropical nights are hammocks for lovers Picture Quote #1

Only when the poet and the scientist work in unison will we have living experiences and knowledge of the marvels of the universe as they are being discovered Picture Quote #1
