Influences


Novels of known Cuban-American writer Anaïs Nin include Winter of Artifice (1939), and she published The Diary of Anaïs Nin 1931-1974 from published 1966 to 1981.

This passionate eroticist and short story gained international fame with her journals. They span the years and give an account of voyage of self-discovery of one owman. "It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all." (from volume I, 1966)

People largely ignored her until the 1960s. Today, people regard her of the leading females of the 20th century and as a source of inspiration for women; she challenged conventionally defined gender roles.

“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Anaïs Nin

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
Anais Nin

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
Anais Nin
