Henry Miller
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
It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.
Henry Miller
All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet.
Henry Miller
