Additional quotes by Anaïs Nin

I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.

This morning I got up to begin this book I coughed. Something was coming out of my throat: it was strangling me. I broke the thread which held it and yanked it out. I went back to bed and said: I have just spat out my heart.

I am like a snake who has already bitten. I retreat from a direct battle while knowing the slow effect of the poison.
