Henry Miller
Image
Once I thought that to be human was the highest aim a man could have, but I see now that it was meant to destroy me.

I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity - I belong to the earth!

In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance.
Henry Miller
Image
The waking mind, you see, is the least serviceable in the arts.
Henry Miller
Image
'Life', said Emerson, consists in what a man is thinking all day. If that be so, then my life is nothing but a big intestine.
Henry Miller
Image
Until we accept the fact that life itself is founded in mystery, we shall learn nothing.
Henry Miller
Image
The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.
Henry Miller
Image
To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.
Henry Miller
Image
Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.
Henry Miller
Image
There is nothing in itself which is wrong or evil not even murder.
