More quotes by Henry Miller
It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world - it's the American way of looking at things.
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
My hunger and curiosity drive me forward in all directions at once.
Henry Miller
Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.
Henry Miller
When you meet the man [Brassai] you see at once that he is equipped with no ordinary eyes. And the sharpness of vision and depth of insight are revealed in Brassai's lifelong photographic exploration of Paris - its people, places, and things.
Henry Miller
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.
Henry Miller
To paint is to love again, and to love is to live life to the fullest.
Henry Miller
The only difference between the Adamic man and the man of today is that the one was born to Paradise and the other has to create it.
Henry Miller
Until we accept the fact that life itself is founded in mystery, we shall learn nothing.
Henry Miller
In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
Henry Miller
If you are well off and can afford to spend ten or twenty-five dollars a day to hire some patient soul to listen to your troubles you can be readjusted to the crazy scheme of things and spare yourself the humiliation of becoming a Christian Scientist. You can have your ego trimmed or removed, as you wish, just like a wart or bunion.
Henry Miller
I'd rather sit down and write a letter than call someone up. I hate the telephone.
Henry Miller
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
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
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.
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
If one believes, then miracles occur.
Henry Miller
There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.
Henry Miller
When you can't create you can work
Henry Miller
Man, as man, has never realized himself. The greater part of him, his potential being, has always been submerged. What is history if not the endless story of his repeated failures?
Henry Miller
