Anaïs Nin цитаты

страница 8

„Каждый друг представляет мир внутри нас, мир, возможно, не существовавший до нашей встречи, и только благодаря ей этот новый мир рождается .“

„Любовь никогда не умирает естественной смертью. Она умирает, потому что мы не знаем, как пополнять ее источник. Она умирает из-за безрассудства, из-за ошибок, из-за измен. Она умирает от болезней и ран, она умирает от утомления, от увядания, от потускнения.“

„Как ошибается женщина, ожидая мужчину, который создаст мир её мечты, вместо того чтобы взяться за это самой!“

„Секрет радости в том, чтобы справиться с болью.“

„Ты не находишь любовь, она находит тебя. Это связано с судьбой, судьбой и тем, что написано на звездах.“

„Каждый человек предаёт другого, потому что должен быть верным своей душе.“

„Люди ищут не истину, а иллюзию, с которой они могут жить.“

„Реализм обрушивается на меня лавиной. Слишком много, слишком много действительности.“

„В сущности, есть лишь один вид психической ненормальности — неспособность любить.“

„Тоска и холод. На мне словно написано: «убита своим прошлым».“

„Мы не видим вещи такими, какие они есть, мы видим вещи такими, какие мы есть.“

„Мечта всегда бежала впереди меня. Догнать её, пожить хоть мгновение в унисон с ней — это было чудом.“

„Меня постоянно изводит образ множественности моих «я». Иногда я называю это богатством натуры, в другие дни мне представляется, что это болезнь, такая же опасная, как рост числа клеток при раке.“

„Насколько неправильно, когда женщина ждёт, что мужчина построит мир, который она хочет, вместо того, чтобы создать его самой?“

„Все, что помимо свободы, полной свободы, есть смерть.“

„Была потрясена, как ребенок, узнавший, что у каждого из нас только одна жизнь. И мне кажется, я захотела компенсировать это умножением опыта.“

“The earth is heavy and opaque without dreams.”

“How can I accept a limited definable self when I feel, in me, all possibilities?… I never feel the four walls around the substance of the self, the core. I feel only space. Illimitable space.”

“Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.”

“We did not touch each other. We were both leaning over the abyss.”

“Out of the red and silver and the long cry of alarm to the poet who survives in all human beings, as the child survives in him; to this poet she threw an unexpected ladder in the middle of the city and ordained, 'Climb!”

“It is easy to love and there are so many ways to do it.”

“When I first met him, he did not care if a friend did not fit into his world, because at that time his world had not been born yet.”

“The real wonders of life lie in the depths. Exploring the depths for truths is the real wonder which the child and the artist know: magic and power lie in truth.”

“I sleep with my feet on moss carpets, my branches in the cotton of the clouds.”

“The necessity for fiction was probably born of the problem of taboo on certain revelations. It was not only a need of the imagination but an answer to the limitations placed on portrayal of others.”

“The basis of insincerity is the idealized image we hold of ourselves and wish to impose on others.”

“You are like a person who consumes herself in love and giving and does not know the miracles that are born of this.”

“I see myself wrapped in lies, which do not seem to penetrate my soul, as if they are not really a part of me. They are like costumes.”

“Neurosis was caused by our attempt to separate physical and metaphysical levels, to set them up in opposition to each other, thus engaging in an internecine war. If it is true that we do live on several levels simultaneously- drama and action, past and present, personal and collective- we are given ways to unify them: one by religion, the other by art. Separating such levels is only necessary when they conflict, and separation is a result of conflict. Seeing how these levels can work together in harmony is the task of our contemporary writers.”

“Someday I'll be locked up for love insanity. "She loved too much."”

“Experience teaches acceptance of the imperfect as life.”

“The dream has to be translated into reality.”

“The dream, scrutinized by scientists in various experiments, has been found to be an absolute necessity to man.”

“Love reduces the complexity of living.”

“I am the one who has felt most deeply the stuttering of the tongue in its relation to thought.”

“In creation alone there is the possibility of perfection.”

“Only in the fever of creation could she recreate her own lost life.”

“No desire of the body, but for what lies in there, what lies in the flesh, the world, the thought, the creation, the illumination.”

“It was a misunderstanding to stress the dream like quality of the novels. What I meant to stress was the interrelation between dream and life, between dream and action.”

“The unconscious can become destructive if it is disregarded and thwarted.”

“Electric flesh-arrows traversing the body. A rainbow of color strikes the eyelids. A foam of music falls over the ears. It is the gong of the orgasm.”

“Women always think that when they have my shoes, my dress, my hairdresser, my makeup, it will all work the same way. They do not conceive of the witchcraft that is needed. They do not know that I am not beautiful but that I only appear to be at certain moments.”

“My life is slowed up by thought and the need to understand what I am living.”

“If only we could all escape from this house of incest, where we only love ourselves in the other, if only I could save you all from yourselves.”
