Anais Nin

Anaïs Nin was a French-Cuban-American diarist, essayist, and writer of short stories and erotica.

"Her presence had awakened in him a man suddenly whipped by his earlier ideals, whose lost manhood wanted to assert itself in action."
Anais Nin
"At night too, she puzzled the mystery of her desperate need of kindness. As other girls prayed for handsomeness in a lover, or for wealth, or for power, or for poetry, she had prayed fervently: let him be kind."
Anais Nin
"She had acquired some of his gypsy ways, some of his nonchalance, his bohemian indiscipline. She had swung with him into the disorders of strewn clothes, spilled cigarette ashes, slipping into bed all dressed, falling asleep thus, indolence, timelessness...A region of chaos and moonlight. She liked it there."
Anais Nin
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
