  1. "I've met Henry Miller. I saw a man I liked ... a man who was likeable, not overbearing but strong, a human man who was sensitively aware of everything. He's a man whom life makes drunk. ... He is like me."

    ~ Anaïs Nin

    «El amor nunca muere de muerte natural. Se muere porque no sabemos cómo reponer su fuente. Muere de ceguera, de errores y traiciones. Se muere de enfermedades y heridas; se muere de cansancio.»

  3. "Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

    ~ Anaïs Nin, born today, 1903.

  5. I touched rock-crystal walls with white foaming crevices, white sponges of secret sorrows set in a lace of plant skeletons. Leaves, skins, flesh had been sucked of their juices, and the juices and sap drunk by the crevices, flowing together through the river bed of stillborn desires.

  6. "Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts.

    “We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center.

    “So we lost our center and have to find it again."

  7. A quotation from Anais Nin

    Now I laugh at my fear of analysis. Most people’s possession of knowledge deprives them of the sense of wonder, but such a sense of wonder and mystery is like the savage’s fear of mysterious fire until he discovers the principle of it and the mastering of it. I say that after we know all there is to know, there is still mystery and wonder of a deeper kind.

    Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) Catalan-Cuban-French author, diarist
    Diary (1932-11-27)

  8. CW: femininity & erotica

    this's been on my mind for a while; months back I casually asked my wife if she knew who Anaïs Nin was & her reaction was really interesting. she said she did but in a tone that was almost shocked or mildly offended that the name had come out of my mouth. it was a fascinating interaction. my only exposure to her was through film, I'm madly in love with Maria de Medeiros & she played Nin in the fantastic biopic Henry & June.

  9. 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.
