And the books you write. They're not you. They're not me sitting here, this Henry Miller. They belong to someone else. It's terrible. You can never rest.
Henry Miller
Image
Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.
Henry Miller
Image
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation... A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.

Hitler is no worse, nay better, in my opinion, than the other lugs. He makes the German mistake of being tactless, that's all.
Henry Miller
Image
Every man is working out his destiny in his own way and nobody can be of any help except by being kind, generous, and patient.

Henry Miller
Image
The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.
Henry Miller
Image
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller
Image
Do anything, but let it produce joy. Do anything, but let it yield ecstasy.
Henry Miller
Image
By choosing to live above the ordinary level we create extraordinary problems for ourselves.
Henry Miller
Image
The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.
Henry Miller
Image
Until we lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
Henry Miller
Image
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
Image
Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.
Henry Miller
Image
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.
Henry Miller

As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.
