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

In every man's heart there is...

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

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

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

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

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 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

It does me good to write a le...

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

Analysis brings no curative p...

Analysis brings no curative powers in its train; it merely makes us conscious of the existence of an evil, which, oddly enough, is consciousness.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

One can be absolutely truthfu...

One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Whatever I do is done out of ...

Whatever I do is done out of sheer joy; I drop my fruits like a ripe tree. What the general reader or the critic makes of them is not my concern.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Imagination is the voice of d...

Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Life, as it is called, is for...

Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Sin, guilt, neurosis; they ar...

Sin, guilt, neurosis; they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Why are we so full of restrai...

Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

There is nothing strange abou...

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

When one is trying to do some...

When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We have two American flags al...

We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The prisoner is not the one w...

The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.
