I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

We are all engaged in the task...

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 571 quotes

Love men and women not for the...

Love men and women not for their strength but their softness, not for their fullness but their hunger, not for their plenty but their need.

I want to live darkly and rich...

I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them.

I really believe that if I were not a writer, not a creator, not an experimenter, I might have been a very faithful wife. I think highly of faithfulness. But my temperament belongs to the writer, not to the woman

I am aware of being in a beautiful prison, from which I can only escape by writing.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

I am an excitable person who o...

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

I can elect something I love and absorb myself in it.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

I disregard the proportions, t...

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 Ђ' in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

She lacks confidence, she crav...

She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not dare to be herself.

When one is pretending, the entire body revolts.

Creation which cannot express itself becomes madness.

His life rushes onward in such torrential rhythm that...only angels and devils can catch the tempo of it.

When I don't write, I feel my world shrink. I lose my fire, my color.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Expressing feelings is linked directly with creation... In this ability to tap the sources of feeling and imagination lies the secret of abundance.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Many couples, many people, are...

Many couples, many people, are not living with real human beings, but with their ghosts. Who has not followed for years the spell of a particular tone of voice, from voice to voice, as the fetishist follows a beautiful foot, scarcely seeing the woman herself? A voice, a mouth, an eye, all stemming from the original fountain of our first desire, directing it, enslaving us, until we choose to unravel the fatal web and free ourselves.

I write emotional algebra.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension. But I am not always in what I call a state of grace. I have days of illuminations and fevers. I have days when the music in my head stops. Then I mend socks, prune trees, can fruits, polish furniture. But while I am doing this I feel I am no
