Everybody says sex is obscene. The only true obscenity is war.
Henry Miller
Image
Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.
Henry Miller
Image
To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
Henry Miller
Image
Topographically the country is magnificent - and terrifying. Why terrifying? Because nowhere else in the world is the divorce between man and nature so complete. Nowhere have I encountered such a dull, monotonous fabric of life as here in America. Here boredom reaches its peak.
Henry Miller
Image
I don't know whether you've ever had a woman eat an apple while you were doing it. Well, you can imagine how that affects you.
Henry Miller

Image
We must not just be in the world and above the world, but also of the world. To love it for what it is... is the only task. Avoid it and you are lost. Lose yourself in it, and you are free.

Until we lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
Henry Miller
Image
To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.
Henry Miller
Image
As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.
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
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
Image
Once you have given up the ghost, everything follows with dead certainty, even in the midst of chaos.
Henry Miller
Image
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
Henry Miller
Image
The waking mind, you see, is the least serviceable in the arts.

Keep your exclamation points under control!
