To withhold from living is to ...

To withhold from living is to die ... the more you give of yourself to life the more life nourishes you.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

I miss the animal buoyancy of ...

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

The unknown was my compass. The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

I have no brakes on...analysis is for those who are paralyzed by life.

The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

There were always in me, two w...

There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Writers do not live one life, ...

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.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.' Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage 'People living deeply have no fear of death.

I cannot concentrate all my friendship on any single one of my friends because no one is complete enough in himself.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Someone told me the delightful story of the crusader who put a chastity belt on his wife and gave the key to his best friend for safekeeping, in case of his death. He had ridden only a few miles away when his friend, riding hard, caught up with him, saying 'You gave me the wrong key!

If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

From the backstabbing co-worke...

From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The leaf fall of his words, th...

The leaf fall of his words, the stained glass hues of his moods, the rust in his voice, the smoke in his mouth, his breath on my vision like human breath blinding a mirror.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

I am only responsible for my own heart, you offered yours up for the smashing my darling. Only a fool would give out such a vital organ

Anais Nin 571 quotes

In the world of the dreamer th...

In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude. But with action came anxiety, and the sense of insuperable effort made to match the dream, and with it came weariness, discouragement, and the flight into solitude again. And then in solitude, in the opium den of remembrance, the possibility of pleasure again.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The same chemicals were used in the cooking as were used on the composition of her own being: only those which caused the most violent reaction, contradiction, and teasing, the refusal to answer questions but the love of putting them, and all the strong spices of human relationship which bore a relation to black pepper, paprika, soybean sauce, ketchup and red peppers.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body. Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls, so sensuality traverses the body and reaches up to ecstasy.

I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live.
