Nin, Anaïs (Anaïs Nin)

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
-- Anaïs Nin

There are very few human beings who receive the truth , complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
-- Anaïs Nin

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

It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
-- Anais Nin

When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with.
-- Anaïs Nin
