It does me good to write a let...

It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.

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

Example moves the world more t...

Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.

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 new always carries with it...

The new always carries with it the sense of violation, of sacrilege. What is dead is sacred; what is new, that is different, is evil, dangerous, or subversive.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

There is nothing strange about...

There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Everyone has his own reality i...

Everyone has his own reality in which, if one is not too cautious, timid or frightened, one swims. This is the only reality there is.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Let me be, was all I wanted. B...

Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Serenity is when you get above...

Serenity is when you get above all this, when it doesn't matter what they think, say or want, but when you do as you are, and see God and Devil as one.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

You must be life for me to the...

You must be life for me to the very end,' so he writes. 'That is the only way in which to sustain my idea of you. Because you have gotten, as you see, tied up with something so vital to me, I do not think I shall ever shake you off. Nor do I wish to. I want you to live more vitally every day, as I am dead. That is why, when I speak of you to others, I am just a bit ashamed. It's hard to talk of one's self so intimately

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Life's wildest moment---she kn...

Life's wildest moment---she kneels on the sidewalk. Everything else she does is lies, lies.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Everything we shut our eyes to...

Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

And there is a time, glorious ...

And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean, when boredom seems the very stuff of life.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Do not be duped by little duti...

Do not be duped by little duties. Do not be a chore man all your days.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

What holds the world together,...

What holds the world together, as I have learned from bitter experience, is sexual intercourse.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

It is now the fall of my secon...

It is now the fall of my second year in Paris. I was sent here for a reason I have not yet been able to fathom. I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. A year ago, six months ago, i thought I was an artist. I no longer think about it. I am. There are no more books to be written, thank God.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Certainly paradise, whatever, ...

Certainly paradise, whatever, wherever it be, contains flaws. (Paradisical flaws, if you like.) If it did not, it would be incapable of drawing the hearts of men or angels.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

It's good to be just plain hap...

It's good to be just plain happy, it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Example moves the world more than doctrine.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

On the meridian of time, there...

On the meridian of time, there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama.
