Henry Miller
There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry.
Henry Miller
I had to learn, as I soon did, that one must give up everything and not do anything else but write, that one must writer and write and write, even if everybody in the world advises you against it, even if nobody believes in you.
Henry Miller
I don't know whether you've ever had a woman eat an apple while you were doing it. Well, you can imagine how that affects you.
Henry Miller
Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.
Henry Miller
The monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses.
Henry Miller
