More quotes by Henry Miller
Imagination is the voice of the daring.
Henry Miller
I demanded a realm in which I should be both master and slave at the same time: The world of art is the only such realm.
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
Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.
Henry Miller
I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
Henry Miller
I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.
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
We are dancing in the hollow of nothingness. We are one flesh, but separated like stars.
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
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller
Cluster together like stars!
Henry Miller

Henry Miller
Words are loneliness.
Henry Miller
Serenity is when you get above all this, when it doesn't matter what they think, say or want, but when you do as you are, and see God and Devil as one.
Henry Miller
I have made a silent compact with myself not to change a line of what I write. I am not interested in perfecting my thoughts, nor my actions.
Henry Miller
Music is the can-opener of the soul.
Henry Miller
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
I had to learn to think, feel, and see in a totally new fashion, in an uneducated way, in my own way, which is the hardest thing in the world. I had to throw myself into the current, knowing that I would probably sink.
Henry Miller
When you can't create you can work
Henry Miller
What seems nasty, painful, evil can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind.
Henry Miller
