Image
I thought, when I came upon her, that I was seizing hold of life... Instead I lost hold of life completely. I reached out for something to attach myself to - and I found nothing. But in reaching out, in the effort to grasp, to attach myself, left high and dry as I was, I nevertheless found something I had not looked for - myself.

There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.
Henry Miller
Image
When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.

I like the one about the little soulworms that fly out of the nest for the resurrection.

There is nothing in itself which is wrong or evil not even murder.

Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.

I feel that America is essentially against the artist, that the enemy of America is the artist, because he stands for individuality and creativeness, and that's un-American somehow.

The purpose of life is to remember.
Henry Miller
Image
All the men she's been with and now you, just you, and the barges going by, masts and hulls, the whole damned current of life flowing through you, through her, through all the guys behind you and after you, the flowers and the birds and the sun streaming in and the fragrance of it choking you, annihilating you.
Henry Miller

If any man dared to translate all that is in his heart, to put down what is really his experience, what is truly his truth, I think then the world would go to smash, that it would be blown to smithereens and no god, no accident, no will could ever again assemble the pieces, the atoms, the indestructible elements that have gone to make up the world.

But you can’t put fight into a man’s guts if he hasn’t any fight in him. There are some of us so cowardly that you can’t ever make heroes of us, not even if you frighten us to death. We know too much, maybe. There are some of us who don’t live in the moment, who live a little ahead, or a little behind.

Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed.

The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.

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.

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.

The world isn't kept running because it's a paying proposition. (God doesn't make a cent on the deal.) The world goes on because a few men in every generation believe in it utterly, accept it unquestioningly they underwrite it with their lives.

The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

The art of living is based on rhythm - on give & take, ebb & flow, light & dark, life & death. By acceptance of all aspects of life, good & bad, right & wrong, yours & mine, the static, defensive life, which is what most people are cursed with, is converted into a dance, 'the dance of life,' metamorphosis.
