Anais Nin

Houses turn to corpses overnight when we cease to live and love in them.

Anais Nin

Human beings can reach such desperate solitude that they may cross a boundary beyond which words cannot serve, and at such moments there is nothing left for them but to bark.

Anais Nin

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

Anais Nin

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.

Anais Nin

I am more interested in human beings than in writing, more interested in lovemaking than in writing, more interested in living than in writing. More interested in becoming a work of art than in creating one.

Anais Nin

I can’t let you go now. I want to go places with you; obscure little places, just to be able to say: here I came with her.

Anais Nin

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

Anais Nin

I do not need to be a selfless child, or a woman giving to the point of self-annihilation.

Anais Nin

I don’t tell the truth any more to those who can’t make use of it. I tell it mostly to myself, because it always changes me.

Anais Nin

I dreamed you, I wished for your existence.
