Anais Nin quotes:
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
"Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age. "
"Do not seek the because. In love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions."
"Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living."
"Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it."
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
"Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live."
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
"Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them."
"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say."
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not possibly born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
"There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do."
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
"The only abnormality is the incapacity to love."
"The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle."
