More quotes by Henry Miller
All growth is a leap in the dark.
Henry Miller
Who hates the Jews more than the Jew?
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
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
Imagination is the voice of the daring.
Henry Miller
Until he [man] has become fully human, until he learns to conduct himself as a member of the earth, he will continue to create gods who will destroy him. The tragedy of Greece lies not in the destruction of a great culture but in the abortion of a great vision.
Henry Miller
It is no accident that propels people like us to Paris.
Henry Miller
A world without hope, but no despair
Henry Miller
What I want is to open up. I want to know what's inside me. I want everybody to open up. I'm like an imbecile with a can opener in his hand, wondering where to begin-- to open up the earth. I know that underneath the mess everything is marvelous. I'm sure of it.
Henry Miller
Do anything, but let it produce joy. Do anything, but let it yield ecstasy.
Henry Miller
We are dancing in the hollow of nothingness. We are one flesh, but separated like stars.
Henry Miller
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation. Lend and borrow to the maximum.
Henry Miller
Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller
Do not be duped by little duties. Do not be a chore man all your days.
Henry Miller
Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
Henry Miller
Leave out the parts that readers tend to skip.
Henry Miller
I didn't have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let's say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!
Henry Miller
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Henry Miller
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.
Henry Miller
Man torturing man is a fiend beyond description. You turn a corner in the dark and there he is. You congeal into a bundle of inanimate fear. You become the very soul of anesthesia. But there is no escaping him. It is your turn now.
Henry Miller
