The stabbing horror of life i...

The stabbing horror of life is not contained in calamities and disasters, because these things wake one up and one gets very familiar and intimate with them and finally they become tame again. No, it is more like being in a hotel room in Hoboken let us say, and just enough money in one's pocket for another meal.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Surrealism is merely the refl...

Surrealism is merely the reflection of the death process. It is one of the manifestations of a life becoming extinct, a virus which quickens the inevitable end.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

And the books you write. They're not you. They're not me sitting here, this Henry Miller. They belong to someone else. It's terrible. You can never rest.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Day by day. No yesterdays and...

Day by day. No yesterdays and no tomorrows. The barometer never changes, the flag is always at half-mast.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

No matter how vast, how total,...

No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The Teutons have been singing ...

The Teutons have been singing the swan song ever since they entered the ranks of history. They have always confounded truth with death.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The worst sin that can be comm...

The worst sin that can be committed against the artist is to take him at his word, to see in his work a fulfillment instead of an horizon.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

True strength lies in submissi...

True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

What does it matter how one co...

What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Every man has his own destiny:...

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Los Angeles gives one the feel...

Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Develop an interest in life as...

Develop an interest in life as you see it the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The one thing we can never get...

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.

Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens.

The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The Englishman, be it noted, seldom resorts to violence; when he is sufficiently goaded he simply opens up, like the oyster, and devours his adversary.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The Frenchman is first and for...

The Frenchman is first and foremost a man. He is likeable often just because of his weaknesses, which are always thoroughly human, even if despicable.

The piano bar is the gateway to the halls of masturbation.
