Anaïs Nin (Spanish:[anaˈis ˈnin]; born Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell; February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was an author born to Cuban parents in France, where she was also raised. She spent some time in Spain and Cuba but lived most of her life in the United States where she became an established author. She wrote journals (which span more than 60 years, beginning when she was 11 years old and ending shortly before her death), novels, critical studies, essays, short stories, and erotica. A great deal of her work, including Delta of Venus and Little Birds, was published posthumously.
Early life
Anaïs Nin was born in Neuilly, France, to artistic parents. Her father, Joaquín Nin, was a Cuban pianist and composer, when he met her mother Rosa Culmell, a classically trained Cuban singer of French and Danish descent. Her father's grandfather had fled France during the Revolution, going first to Saint-Domingue, then New Orleans, and finally to Cuba where he helped build that country's first railway.
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
"Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat."
"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."
"Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together"
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
"Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic."
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
"Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions."
"How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself."
"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection"
"What I cannot love, I overlook. Is that real friendship?"
