NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 585

 

  • ·       “We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “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.” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art―we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones.” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “Every word spoken in the past accumulated forms and colors in the self. What flows through the veins besides blood is the distillation of every act committed, the sediment of all the visions, wishes, dreams and experiences. All the past emotions converge to tint the skin and flavor the lips, to regulate the pulse and produce crystals in the eyes.” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “No man and woman know what will be born in the darkness of their intermingling; so much besides children, so many invisible births, exchanges of soul and character, blossoming of unknown selves, liberation of hidden treasures, buried fantasies…” - Anaïs Nin

    ·       “How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.” - Anaïs Nin
