Man has demonstrated that he ...

Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything - except his own nature.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

It is our destiny to live wit...

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

Real love is never perplexed,...

Real love is never perplexed, never qualifies, never rejects, never demands. It replenishes, by grace of restoring unlimited circulation. It burns, because it knows the true meaning of sacrifice. It is life illuminated.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The full and joyful acceptanc...

The full and joyful acceptance of the worst in oneself may be the only sure way of transforming it.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We create our fate every day ...

We create our fate every day . . . most of the ills we suffer from are directly traceable to our own behavior.

Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The ordinary man is involved ...

The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Chaos is the score upon which...

Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Whatever needs to be maintain...

Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed.

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

Honest criticism means nothin...

Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The world is not to be put in...

The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Instead of asking 'How much d...

Instead of asking 'How much damage will the work in question bring about?' why not ask 'How much good? How much joy?'

Henry Miller 574 quotes

In expanding the field of kno...

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

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We live in the mind, in ideas...

We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets - we remember only.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

One of the reasons why so few...

One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

In the attempt to defeat deat...

In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We do not talk - we bludgeon ...

We do not talk - we bludgeon one another with facts and theories gleaned from cursory readings of newspapers, magazines and digests.

What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs.
