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."
"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."
"People living deeply have no fear of death."
"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
