"Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age." - Anaïs Nin

"Dreams are necessary to life." - Anaïs Nin

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." - 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

"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

"Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living." - Anaïs 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." - Anaïs Nin

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." - Anaïs Nin
