More quotes by Anaïs Nin

"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."
"Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions."
"life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity, & stumble from defeat to defeat."
"All those who try to unveil the mysteries always have tragic lives. At the end they are always punished."
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
