Henry Miller
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.
Henry Miller
The only difference between the Adamic man and the man of today is that the one was born to Paradise and the other has to create it.
Henry Miller
Whoever uses the spirit that is in him creatively is an artist. To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
Henry Miller
Imagination is the voice of the daring.
