Anais Nin Quotes
Sometimes it hurts me that there should be less feeling and more intelligence. I seemed more sincere before. But if to be sincere means to throw one’s self overboard, it was sincerity of defeat. To commit suicide is easy. To live without a god is more difficult. The drunkenness of triumph is greater than the drunkenness of sacrifice.
"I want to live only for ecstasy. Small doses, moderate loves, all half-shades, leave me cold. I like extravagance. Letters which give the postman a stiff back to carry, books which overflow from their covers, sexuality which bursts the thermometers. I am aware also that I am becoming June."
When I realized what she was revealing to me, I almost went mad with joy. She loved me, then? June! She sat beside me in the restaurant, small, timid, unworldly, panic-stricken. She would say something and then beg forgiveness for its stupidity. I could not bear it. I told her, “We have both lost ourselves, but sometimes we reveal the most when we are least like ourselves. I am not trying to think any more. I can’t think when I am with you. You are like me, wishing for a perfect moment, but nothing too long imagined can be perfect in a worldly way. Neither one of us can say just the right thing. We are overwhelmed. It is so lovely, so lovely. I love you, June. “
I walk into the chaos of June and Henry and I find them becoming clearer to themselves and to each other. And I? I suffer from the insanity they are leaving behind. Because I pick up their tangles, their insincerities, their complexities. I revive them in my imagination. I can see June again depriving Henry of faith in himself, confusing him. She is destroying his book. Through her love of me, she is seeking to remove my influence on Henry, to win me away from him, to dominate him again, only to leave him dispossessed and reduced; for this, she will even love me. She advises him strongly against publications of his book by route I have opened. She resents his having lost faith in her capacity to help him. I see her using my means now—reasonableness, calm—to accomplish the same destruction.

lunabellag "I want to hear raucous music, to see faces, to brush against bodies, to drink fiery Benedictine. Beautiful women and handsome men arouse fierce desires in me. I want to dance. I want drugs. I want to know perverse people, to be intimate with them. I never look at naive faces. I want to bite into life, and to be torn by it." arisu "Fear, lack of confidence, has narrowed down my world, limited the people I have known intimately-the difficulty of communication. Who is he? What is he? Politeness is like a shield. Culture is a shield. We love our love because it is our love, because it is ours."[Bad username: watch_the_eyes> ] "And when I speak of neurosis I really mean nothing more than what we used to call romanticism: that is, wanting the impossible and then being unhappy if it was found to be impossible."
-
"But I think the greatest problem we have -- and I'm sure you have it too -- is the fear of someone reading over our shoulders, of someone passing judgment on our secret selves."
