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.

More quotes by Henry Miller
If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without.
Henry Miller
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
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
Through endless night the earth whirls toward a creation unknown.
Henry Miller
Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring.
Henry Miller
People used to envy me my inspiration. I hate inspiration. It takes you over completely. I could never wait until it passed and I got rid of it.
Henry Miller
I had to learn, as I soon did, that one must give up everything and not do anything else but write, that one must writer and write and write, even if everybody in the world advises you against it, even if nobody believes in you.
Henry Miller
One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.
Henry Miller
Leave out the parts that readers tend to skip.
Henry Miller
I think someday you're going to be a great writer, he said. But he added maliciously, first you'll have to suffer a bit. I mean really suffer, because you don't know what the word means yet. You only think you've suffered. You've got to fall in love first.
Henry Miller
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
Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines - these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm.
Henry Miller
There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.
Henry Miller
There is nothing in itself which is wrong or evil not even murder.
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
To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.
Henry Miller
People are like lice - they get under your skin and bury themselves there. You scratch and scratch until the blood comes, but you can't get permanently deloused.
Henry Miller
One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one.
Henry Miller
The best technique is none at all.
Henry Miller
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
