Of course you don't die. Nobo...

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 light of Greece opened my...

The light of Greece opened my eyes, penetrated my pores, expanded my whole being.

There's something perverse about women...they're all masochists at heart.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

No one asks you to throw Moza...

No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The Frenchman is first and fo...

The Frenchman is first and foremost a man. He is likeable often just because of his weaknesses, which are always thoroughly human, even if despicable.

Cluster together like stars!

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Many is the mirage I chased. ...

Many is the mirage I chased. Always I was overreaching myself. The oftener I touched reality, the harder I bounced back to the world of illusion, which is the name for everyday life.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Keep your exclamation points ...

Keep your exclamation points under control!

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. I don't say that God is one grand laugh: I say that you've got to laugh hard before you can get anywhere near God. My whole aim in life is to get near to God, that is, to get nearer to myself. That's why it doesn't matter to me what road I take. But music is very important. Music is a tonic for the pineal gland. Music isn't Bach or Beethoven; music is the can opener of the soul. It makes you terribly quiet inside, makes you aware that there's a roof to your being.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

The practice of any art deman...

The practice of any art demands more than 'mere savoir faire'. One must not only be in love with what one does, one must also know how to make love. In love self is obliterated. Only the beloved counts.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

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

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

Henry Miller 574 quotes

I will never again go to peop...

I will never again go to people under false pretenses even if it is to give them the Holy Bible. I will never again sell anything, even if I have to starve. I am going home now and I will sit down and really write about people.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

I wanted to die; I wanted to ...

I wanted to die; I wanted to surrender because I saw no sense in struggling. I felt that nothing would be proved, substantiated, added or subtracted by continuing an existence which I had not asked for.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

You are the only woman who ha...

You are the only woman who has a sense of gaiety, a wise tolerance - no more, you seem to urge me to betray you. I love you for that. [...] I don't know what to expect of you, but it is something in the way of a miracle. I am going to demand everything of you - even the impossible, because you encourage it. You are really strong. I even like your deceit, your treachery. It seems aristocratic to me.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

There are moments when the el...

There are moments when the elixir of life rises to such over?brimming splendor that the soul spills over. In the seraphic smile of the Madonnas the soul is seen to flood the psyche. The moon of the face becomes full; the equation is perfect. A minute, a half?minute, a second later, the miracle has passed. Something intangible , something inexplicable, was given out-and received.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

But you can’t put fight into ...

But you can’t put fight into a man’s guts if he hasn’t any fight in him. There are some of us so cowardly that you can’t ever make heroes of us, not even if you frighten us to death. We know too much, maybe. There are some of us who don’t live in the moment, who live a little ahead, or a little behind.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

Who wants to be a hundred? Wh...

Who wants to be a hundred? What's the point of it? A short life and a merry one is far better than a long one sustained by fear, caution, and perpetual medical surveillance.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

We don't trust our five sense...

We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

I like the one about the little soulworms that fly out of the nest for the resurrection.

Henry Miller 574 quotes

They were painfully clean. But inwardly they stank. Never once had they opened the door which leads to the soul; never once did they dream of taking a blind leap into the dark.
