More quotes by 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
I don't think we should read for instruction but to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.
Henry Miller
Words are loneliness.
Henry Miller
We must be holy without holiness. We must be whole, complete. That's being holy. Any other kind of holiness is false, a snare, and a delusion.
Henry Miller
Writing is its own reward.
Henry Miller

Henry Miller

Henry Miller

Henry Miller

Henry Miller
Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
Henry Miller
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.
Henry Miller
What I really hoped for, no doubt, was to come upon one of those lives which begin nowhere, which lead us through marshes and salt flats, trickling away, seemingly without plan, purpose or goal, and suddenly emerge, gushing like geysers, and never cease gushing, even in death.
Henry Miller
Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.
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
And the books you write. They're not you. They're not me sitting here, this Henry Miller. They belong to someone else. It's terrible. You can never rest.
Henry Miller
Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller
Imagination is the voice of the daring.
Henry Miller
Music is the can-opener of the soul.
