Compassion for our parents is...

Compassion for our parents is the true sign of maturity.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Because history is only an ag...

Because history is only an aggregate of personal hostilities, personal prejudices, personal blindness and irrationality, there are times when we have to live against it.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

We don't have a language for ...

We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The source of sexual power is...

The source of sexual power is curiosity, passion. You are watching its little flame die of asphyxiation. Sex does not thrive on monotony. Without feeling, inventions, moods, no surprises in bed. Sex must be mixed with tears, laughter, words, promises, scenes, jealousy, envy, all of the spices of fear, foreign travel, new faces, novels, stories, dreams, fantasies, music, dancing, opium, wine.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The imagination is far better...

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.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

We write to taste life twice,...

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

Anais Nin 571 quotes

We are cruel when someone ref...

We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

When I am most deeply rooted,...

When I am most deeply rooted, I feel the wildest desire to uproot myself.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

You must not fear, hold back,...

You must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

We are all engaged in the tas...

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.

It is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The theme of the diary is alw...

The theme of the diary is always the personal, but it does not mean only a personal story: it means a personal relationship to all things and people. The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic; I never generalize, intellectualise. I see, I hear, I feel. These are my primitive elements of discovery. Music, dance, poetry and painting are the channels for emotion. It is through them that experience penetrates our bloodstream.

I don't wish power, only art ...

I don't wish power, only art -art and passion.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

She lacks confidence, she cra...

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.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

You are the poet, you walk in...

You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

I adore the struggle you carr...

I adore the struggle you carry in yourself. I adore your terrifying sincerity.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

With her eyes alone she could...

With her eyes alone she could give this response, this absolutely erotic response, as if febrile waves were trembling there, pools of madness... something devouring that could lick a man all over like a flame, annihilate him, with a pleasure never known before.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

The risk it takes to remain t...

The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud
is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

Balance is not to be sought b...

Balance is not to be sought by association with others; it must exist within one's self.

Anais Nin 571 quotes

I love the abstract, delicate...

I love the abstract, delicate, profound, vague, voluptuously wordless sensation of living ecstatically.
