Day by day. No yesterdays and no tomorrows. The barometer never changes, the flag is always at half-mast.
Henry Miller
Image
Through endless night the earth whirls toward a creation unknown.

Cluster together like stars!

Image
I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself.

Until he [man] has become fully human, until he learns to conduct himself as a member of the earth, he will continue to create gods who will destroy him. The tragedy of Greece lies not in the destruction of a great culture but in the abortion of a great vision.

Henry Miller
Image

When you can't create you can work

For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal.
Henry Miller
Image
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
Image
There is something else to be said about this immediate, spontaneous way of working, and that is this: in such moments, one is playing at the game of creation.

It is silly to go on pretending that under the skin we are brothers. The truth is more likely that under the skin we are all cannibals, assassins, traitors, liars and hypocrites.
