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.

More quotes by Henry Miller
Perhaps I have not lined his portrait too clearly. But if he exists, if only for the reason that I have imagined him to be. He came from the blue and returns to the blue. He has not perished, he is not lost. Neither will he be forgotten.
Henry Miller
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
Henry Miller
Don't look for miracles. You yourself are the miracle.
Henry Miller
Real love is never perplexed, never qualifies, never rejects, never demands. It replenishes, by grace of restoring unlimited circulation. It burns, because it knows the true meaning of sacrifice. It is life illuminated.
Henry Miller
Next to love friendship, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing life has to offer.
Henry Miller
The learning we received only tended to obscure our vision. From the day we went to school we learned nothing on the contrary, we were made obtuse, we were wrapped in a fog of words and abstractions.
Henry Miller
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Henry Miller
We are dancing in the hollow of nothingness. We are one flesh, but separated like stars.
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
The most difficult thing to adjust to, apparently, is peace and contentment.
Henry Miller
If you can fall in love again and again if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical you've got it half licked.
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
For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal.
Henry Miller
Part of the act of creating is in discovering your own kind. They are everywhere. But don't look for them in the wrong places.
Henry Miller
The enchanting, and sometimes terrifying, thing is that the world can be so many things to so many different souls. That it can be, and is, all these things at once and the same time.
Henry Miller
Everything was for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. The present was only a bridge and on this bridge they are still groaning, as the world groans, and not one idiot ever thinks of blowing up the bridge.
Henry Miller
The monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses.
Henry Miller
Better to separate than never to marry.
Henry Miller
It's the pleasure of picking up the brush and seeing what happens.
Henry Miller
I have made a silent compact with myself not to change a line of what I write. I am not interested in perfecting my thoughts, nor my actions.
Henry Miller
