ANAIS NIN ~ LIFE AND DEATH

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.

ANAIS NIN ~ QUOTE ON DREAMS

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

ANAIS NIN ~ ON PERSONALITY

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
Anais Nin

ANAIS NIN ~ MEANING OF LIFE

ANAIS NIN ~ LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
Anais Nin

ANAIS NIN ~ QUOTE ON PERSONALITY

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.”
Anais Nin
