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.
Henry Miller

Henry Miller
Image
The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow.

Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.
Henry Miller
Image
Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation... The other eight are unimportant.
Henry Miller
Image
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation... A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.
Henry Miller
Image
Surely every one realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen.
Henry Miller
Image
We create our fate every day . . . most of the ills we suffer from are directly traceable to our own behavior.
Henry Miller
Image
Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
Henry Miller
Image
I felt free and chained at the same time - like one feels just before election, when all the crooks have been nominated and you are beseeched to vote for the right man.
Henry Miller

I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.
