The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.
Henry Miller
Image
But it's just because the chances are all against you, just because there is so little hope, that life is sweet over here.
Henry Miller
Image
We should not stop to reflect, compare, analyze, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music.
Henry Miller
Image
I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself.
Henry Miller
Image
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.

Imagination is the voice of the daring.
Henry Miller
Image
Out yonder they may curse, revile, and torture one another, defile all the human instincts, make a shambles of creation (if it were in their power), but here, no, here, it is unthinkable, here there is abiding peace, the peace of God, and the serene security created by a handful of good neighbors living at one with the creature world.
Henry Miller

It is no accident that propels people like us to Paris.
Henry Miller
Image
To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
Henry Miller
Image
Do not be duped by little duties. Do not be a chore man all your days.
Henry Miller
Image
The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
Henry Miller
Image
The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.
Henry Miller
Image
Keep your libraries, your penal institutions, your insaneasylums... give me beer.You think man needs rule, he needs beer. The world does not need morals, it needs beer... The souls of men have been fed with indigestibles, but the soul could make use of beer.
Henry Miller
Image
It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world - it's the American way of looking at things.
Henry Miller
Image
No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.
Henry Miller
Image
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
Image
Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
Henry Miller
Image
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
Henry Miller
Image
The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.
