ANAIS NINIt is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar.
ANAIS NINShe lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not dare to be herself.
ANAIS NINYou cannot save people, you can only love them.
ANAIS NINYou don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.
ANAIS NINWhen you possess light within, you see it externally.
ANAIS NINPain is something to master, not to wallow in.

ANAIS NINMy mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.

ANAIS NINWe write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
ANAIS NINGood things happen to those who hustle.
