ANAIS NINHow wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
ANAIS NINOne handles truths like dynamite.
ANAIS NINWhat everyone forgets is that passion is not merely a heightened sensual fusion but a way of life which produces, as in the mystics, an ecstatic awareness of the whole of life.
ANAIS NINThe dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
ANAIS NINAnd the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
ANAIS NINWe are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.
ANAIS NINSometimes we reveal ourselves when we are least like ourselves.
ANAIS NINViolence is a symptom of impotence.
ANAIS NINExperience teaches acceptance of the imperfect as life.
ANAIS NINThrow your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

ANAIS NINThe fiery moments of passionate experience are the moments of wholeness and totality of the personality.
ANAIS NINThe only transformer and alchemist that turns everything into gold is love. The only magic against death, aging, ordinary life, is love.
ANAIS NINWhenever you do something that is not aligned with the yearning or your soul – you create suffering.
ANAIS NINI postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
