More quotes by Henry Miller
There is nothing in itself which is wrong or evil not even murder.
Henry Miller
I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.
Henry Miller
The history of the world is the history of the privileged few.
Henry Miller
The learning we received only tended to obscure our vision. From the day we went to school we learned nothing on the contrary, we were made obtuse, we were wrapped in a fog of words and abstractions.
Henry Miller
The vast difference between astrology and other sciences, if I may put it thus, is that astrology deals not with facts but with profundities. The solid ground on which the scientist pretends to rest gives way, in astrology, to imponderables.
Henry Miller
We should not stop to reflect, compare, analyze, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music.
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
Everything was for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. The present was only a bridge and on this bridge they are still groaning, as the world groans, and not one idiot ever thinks of blowing up the bridge.
Henry Miller
When you can't create you can work
Henry Miller
And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words?
Henry Miller
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
Henry Miller
I don't think we should read for instruction but to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.
Henry Miller
A world without hope, but no despair
Henry Miller
I didn't have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let's say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!
Henry Miller
If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without.
Henry Miller
Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.
Henry Miller
You have to write a million words before you find your voice as a writer.
Henry Miller
Greece is the home of the gods they may have died but their presence still makes itself felt. The gods were of human proportion: they were created out of the human spirit.
Henry Miller
The loss of sex polarity is part and parcel of the larger disintegration, the reflex of the soul's death, and coincident with the disappearance of great men, great deeds, great causes, great wars, etc.
Henry Miller
Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring.
Henry Miller
