I am positively against all this crap which is carried on first in the name of this thing, then in the name of that. I believe only in what is active, immediate, and personal.

Henry Miller 03.03.2018 03:03:03 574 quotes

Hitler is no worse, nay better...

Hitler is no worse, nay better, in my opinion, than the other lugs. He makes the German mistake of being tactless, that's all.

The Englishman, be it noted, s...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 574 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 poem is the dream made flesh, in a two-fold sense: as work of art, and as life, which is a work of art.

People used to envy me my inspiration. I hate inspiration. It takes you over completely. I could never wait until it passed and I got rid of it.

Henry Miller 03.03.2018 03:03:03 574 quotes

When you come, please be so kind as to check your neuroses and psychoses at the gate... Fans and other obnoxious pests would do well to maintain silence.

In every man's heart there is anchored a little schooner.

I had to learn to think, feel,...

I had to learn to think, feel, and see in a totally new fashion, in an uneducated way, in my own way, which is the hardest thing in the world. I had to throw myself into the current, knowing that I would probably sink.

Henry Miller 03.03.2018 03:03:03 574 quotes

All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten.
