Of course you don't die. Nobody dies. Death doesn't exist. You only reach a new level of vision, a new realm of consciousness, a new unknown world.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The study of crime begins with...

The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

For some reason or other man l...

For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood. He will debauch himself with ideas, he will reduce himself to a shadow if for only one second of his life he can close his eyes to the hideousness of reality. Everything is endured-disgrace, humiliation, poverty, war, crime, ennui-in the belief that overnight something will occur, a miracle, which will render life tolerable.

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

The study of crime begins with...

The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We have been educated to such ...

We have been educated to such a fine - or dull - point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

Sex is one of the nine reasons...

Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation... The other eight are unimportant.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

There are only three things to...

There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The man who is intoxicated wit...

The man who is intoxicated with life does not pass judgment, does not seek to come to a conclusion, does not impose his message on the world.

When you can't create you can work

You have to write a million words before you find your voice as a writer.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

After all, most writing is don...

After all, most writing is done away from the typewriter, away from the desk. I'd say it occurs in the quiet, silent moments, while you're walking or shaving or playing a game, or whatever, or even talking to someone you're not vitally interested in.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

I had to learn, as I soon did,...

I had to learn, as I soon did, that one must give up everything and not do anything else but write, that one must writer and write and write, even if everybody in the world advises you against it, even if nobody believes in you.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The truly great writer does no...

The truly great writer does not want to write: he wants the world to be a place in which he can live the life of the imagination. The first quivering word he puts to paper is the word of the wounded angel: pain.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Words, sentences, ideas, no ma...

Words, sentences, ideas, no matter how subtle or ingenious, the maddest flights of poetry, the most profound dreams, the most hallucinating visions, are but crude hieroglyphs chiseled in pain and sorrow to commemorate an event which is untransmissible.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Forget the books you want to w...

Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

To make living itself an art, ...

To make living itself an art, that is the goal.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

It is our destiny to live with...

It is our destiny to live with the wrong as well as the right kind of citizens, and to learn from them, the wrong-minded ones, as much or more as from others. If we have not yet succeeded -after how many centuries?- in eliminating from life the elements which plague us perhaps we need to question life more closely. Perhaps our refusal to face reality is the only ill we suffer from, and all the rest but illusion and delusion. (p.26)

Henry Miller 574 quotes

I am thinking of one woman and...

I am thinking of one woman and the rest is blotto. I say I am thinking of her, but the truth is I am dying a stellar death. I am lying there like a sick star waiting for the light to go out. Years ago I lay on this same bed and I waited and waited to be born. Nothing happened. Except that my mother, in her Lutheran rage, threw a bucket of water over me. My mother, poor imbecile that she was, thought I was lazy. She didn't know that I had gotten caught in the stellar drift, that I was being pulverized to a black extinct

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Your nearness is the nearness ...

Your nearness is the nearness of planets. I am the void between you. If I withdraw there will be no void for you to swim in.
