The true liberation of eroticism lies in accepting the fact that there are a million facets to it, a million forms of eroticism, a million objects of it, situations, atmospheres, and variations. we have, first of all, to dispense with guilt concerning its expansion, then remain open to it's surprises, varied expressions, and mingle it with dreams, fantasies, and emotion for it to attain its highest potency.

Dream Lying Expression

More From Anais Nin

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

Poetry love's philosophy the fountains mingle with the river and the rivers with the ocean, the winds of heaven mix for ever with a sweet emotion; nothing in the world is single, all things by a law divine in one another's being mingle— why not i with thine? see the mountains kiss high heaven, and the waves clasp one another; no sister-flower would be forgiven if it disdain'd its brother; and the sunlight clasps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea— what are all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption ... for myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. the liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. we objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.

Giving is the highest expression of potency. in the very act of giving, i experience my strength, my wealth, my power. this experience of heightened vitality and potency fills me with joy. i experience myself as overflowing, spending, alive, hence as joyous.

When i was a teenager, the way some of these kids out here be actively gay, it would have been ridiculed in the hood. and now the hood is a bit more accepting. begrudgingly accepting, but definitely more accepting than 20 years ago when i was a little kid. that doesn't mean that anybody should stop fighting for equality just because people are begrudgingly a little more accepting.

One of the less attractive aspects of human nature is our tendency to hate the people we haven't treated very well; it's much easier than accepting guilt. if we can convince ourselves that the people we betrayed or enslaved were subhuman monsters in the first place, then our guilt isn't nearly so black as we secretly know that it is. humans are very, very good at shifting blame and avoiding guilt.

Similar Quotes

Shattered legs may heal in time, but some betrayals fester and poison the soul.

There are betrayals in war that are childlike compared with our human betrayals during peace. the new lovers enter the habits of the other. things are smashed, revealed in a new light. this is done with nervous or tender sentences, although the heart is an organ of fire.

Her last conscious thought was disgust at life; her senses had lied to her. the world was not made of energy and delight but of foulness, betrayal, and lassitude. living was hateful, and death was no better, and from end to end of the universe this was the first and last and only truth.

You think that you are an iconoclast, but you’re not. you just move, or replace what you cannot have. if you fail at something, you retreat into something else. nothing changes you.... i left you because i knew i could never change you. you would stand in the room so still sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal one more inch of your character.
