More quotes by Henry Miller
Develop an interest in life as you see it the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
Henry Miller
Perhaps I have not lined his portrait too clearly. But if he exists, if only for the reason that I have imagined him to be. He came from the blue and returns to the blue. He has not perished, he is not lost. Neither will he be forgotten.
Henry Miller
I'd rather sit down and write a letter than call someone up. I hate the telephone.
Henry Miller
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
People used to envy me my inspiration. I hate inspiration. It takes you over completely. I could never wait until it passed and I got rid of it.
Henry Miller
Her fluency was marvelous. She would say things at random, intricate, flamelike, or slide off into a parenthetical limbo peppered with fireworks-- admirable linguistic feats which a practiced writer might struggle for hours to achieve.
Henry Miller
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Henry Miller
Were there a Christian so faithful to his God as I was to her we would all be Jesus Christ today.
Henry Miller
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
Henry Miller
I read to be taken out of myself, to become ecstatic.
Henry Miller
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.
Henry Miller
Whoever uses the spirit that is in him creatively is an artist. To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
Henry Miller
To imagine a new world is to live it daily, each thought, each glance, each step, each gesture, killing and recreating, death always a step in advance. To spit on the past is not enough. To proclaim the future is not enough. One must act as if the past were dead and the future unrealizable.
Henry Miller
By choosing to live above the ordinary level we create extraordinary problems for ourselves.
Henry Miller
Until we accept the fact that life itself is founded in mystery, we shall learn nothing.
Henry Miller
To be cured, we must rise from our graves and throw off the cerements of the dead. Nobody can do it for another - it is a private affair which is best done collectively. We must die as egos and be born again in the swarm, not separated and self-hypnotized, but individual and related.
Henry Miller
Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.
Henry Miller
All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten.
Henry Miller
Keep your libraries, your penal institutions, your insaneasylums... give me beer.You think man needs rule, he needs beer. The world does not need morals, it needs beer... The souls of men have been fed with indigestibles, but the soul could make use of beer.
Henry Miller
What have we to offer the world beside the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?
Henry Miller
