Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
ANAIS NIN, The Diary of Anais Nin
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
ANAIS NIN, quoted in The Wordsworth Dictionary of Quotations
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
ANAIS NIN, Parted Lips: Lesbian Love Quotes Through the Ages
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
ANAIS NIN, diary entry, March 1937
