Motivational Quote by Anaïs Nin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“At first I protested and rebelled against poetry. I was about to deny my poetic worlds. I was doing violence to my illusions with analysis, science, and learning Henry’s language, entering Henry’s world. I wanted to destroy by violence and animalism my tenuous fantasies and illusions and my hypersensitivity. A kind of suicide. The ignominy awakened me. Then June came and answered the cravings of my imagination and saved me. Or perhaps she killed me, for now I am started on a course of madness.”

“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.”

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

“Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.”

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.”

“Peace is not the absence of noise — it’s the refusal to keep company with what God already released. When you walk in your truth, Heaven echoes it loudly. Love yourself because He first loved you, and value yourself because He never stopped.”

“It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish.”

“We are existing in a thin sliver of light between two potentially infinite portions of darkness.”

“Someone needs to fight, someone needs to sacrifice, someone needs to inspire, someone needs to be a hero.”

“The problem isn’t that I think so highly of myself. It is just that you think so little of yourself. Live life BIG, BOLD and OUT LOUD!”
