Anna Kavan Quotes

I had a friend, a lover. Or did I dream it? So many dreams are crowding upon me now that I can scarcely tell true from false: dreams like light imprisoned in bright mineral caves; hot, heavy dreams; ice-age dreams; dreams like machines in the head Picture Quote #1
You mustn’t be so afraid of life - it’s all we’ve got. Don’t let it hurt you so much Picture Quote #1
I know I’ve got a death wish. I’ve never enjoyed my life, I’ve never liked people. I love the mountains because they are the negation of life, indestructible, inhuman, untouchable, indifferent, as I want to be Picture Quote #1
Reality had always been something of an unknown quantity to me Picture Quote #1
Everything was quiet, as if the silence was listening Picture Quote #1
I had never before met anyone who owned a telephone and believed in dragons Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
At last I feel identified with the mountains, clean, cold, hard, detached Picture Quote #1
My ideas were confused. In a peculiar way, the unreality of the outer world appeared to be an extension of my own disturbed state of mind Picture Quote #1
Because of my fear that the daytime world would become real, I had to establish reality in another place Picture Quote #1
Sometimes a savage beauty lured me into the sun and I would start to love the danger a little. On these occasions I felt the reluctant love drained painfully from me as blood drains from a deep wound. The tigers lapped my love’s blood and remained enemies. The inhabitants of the day laughed at the gift I wanted to bring them, and I shut myself in my inner room to escape the betrayal of their arrogant mouths Picture Quote #1
While I am watching the birds I believe I am comparatively immune from the assaults of life. The very indifference to humanity of these wild creatures affords me a certain safeguard. Where all else is dangerous, hostile and liable to inflict pain, they alone can do me no injury because, probably, they are not even aware of my existence. The birds are at once my refuge and my relaxation Picture Quote #1
I had a curious feeling that I was living on several planes simultaneously; the overlapping of these planes was confusing Picture Quote #1
