An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The man who looks for securit...

The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

What distinguishes the majori...

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

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.

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

Madness is tonic and invigora...

Madness is tonic and invigorating. It makes the sane more sane. The only ones who are unable to profit by it are the insane.

The cancer of time is eating us away

Henry Miller 574 quotes

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

The great work must inevitabl...

The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

In the beginning was the Word...

In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The real enemy can always be ...

The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

If I am against the condition...

If I am against the condition of the world, it is not because I am a moralist - it is because I want to laugh more.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Life has to be given a meanin...

Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

In every man's heart there is...

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

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The earth is not a lair, neit...

The earth is not a lair, neither is it a prison. The earth is a Paradise, the only one we'll ever know. We will realize it the moment we open our eyes. We don't have to make it a Paradise-it is one. We have only to make ourselves fit to inhabit it. The man with the gun, the man with murder in his heart, cannot possibly recognize Paradise even when he is shown it.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Destiny is what you are suppo...

Destiny is what you are supposed to do in life. Fate is what kicks you in the ass to make you do it.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

A man writes to throw off the...

A man writes to throw off the poison which he has accumulated because of his false way of life. He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. No man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The imperfections of a man, h...

The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues.You can't separate them. They're wedded.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without.
