The enemy of a love is never outside, it’s not a man or a woman, it’s what we lack in ourselves.

Anais Nin

Things aren’t the way they are, they’re the way you are.

Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.

Throw your dream into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

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

What a mystery this is, desire. The love sickness, the sensitivity, the obsession, the flutter of the heart, the ebb and flow of the blood. There is no drug and no alcohol to equal it.

Anais Nin

When you possess light within, then you see it externally.

Anais Nin

Whenever you do something that is not aligned with the yearning or your soul – you create suffering.

Anais Nin

You cannot save people, you can only love them.

Anais Nin

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.
