Anais Nin

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

Anais Nin

What I cannot love, I overlook.

Anais Nin

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

Anais Nin

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

Anais Nin

When life becomes too difficult, I turn to my work. I swim into a new region.

Anais Nin

When one is pretending, the entire body revolts.

Anais Nin

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.

Anais Nin

Where the myth fails, human love begins. Then we love a human being, not our dream, but a human being with flaws.

Anais Nin

Write. Write until it stops hurting.

Anais Nin

You marry the day you realize the human defects of your love.
