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.

More quotes by Henry Miller
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Henry Miller
As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.
Henry Miller
I like the one about the little soulworms that fly out of the nest for the resurrection.
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
I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.
Henry Miller
Those interested in celestial navigation are advised to first obtain a rudimentary knowledge of integral calculus, phlebotomy, astral physics and related subjects. The use of liquor is strictly forbidden on interplanetary flights.
Henry Miller
In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance.
Henry Miller
When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.
Henry Miller
Until we accept the fact that life itself is founded in mystery, we shall learn nothing.
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
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
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.
Henry Miller
Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.
Henry Miller
There is nothing in itself which is wrong or evil not even murder.
Henry Miller
We should not stop to reflect, compare, analyze, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music.
Henry Miller
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Henry Miller
To paint is to love again, and to love is to live life to the fullest.
Henry Miller
To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.
Henry Miller
The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
Henry Miller
