Anais Nin quotes

• Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous.

• There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.

• Anxiety is love’s greatest killer.

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

• To write is to descend, to excavate, to go underground.

• Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.

• Dreams are necessary to life. Dreams have helped me to live.

• Eroticism is one of the basic means of self-knowledge, as indispensible as poetry.

• Don’t let one cloud obliterate the whole sky.

• Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
