More quotes by Henry Miller

Image
What I really hoped for, no doubt, was to come upon one of those lives which begin nowhere, which lead us through marshes and salt flats, trickling away, seemingly without plan, purpose or goal, and suddenly emerge, gushing like geysers, and never cease gushing, even in death.
Henry Miller
Image
If the poet can no longer speak for society, but only for himself, then we are at the last ditch.
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
When spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise.
Henry Miller
Image
We are dancing in the hollow of nothingness. We are one flesh, but separated like stars.
Henry Miller
Image
I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
Henry Miller
Image
It's the pleasure of picking up the brush and seeing what happens.
Henry Miller
Image

Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Henry Miller
Image
The practice of any art demands more than 'mere savoir faire'. One must not only be in love with what one does, one must also know how to make love. In love self is obliterated. Only the beloved counts.
Henry Miller
Image
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.
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
I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.
Henry Miller
Image
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.

Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.

A world without hope, but no despair

Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Henry Miller
Image
Who wants to be a hundred? What's the point of it? A short life and a merry one is far better than a long one sustained by fear, caution, and perpetual medical surveillance.
Henry Miller

To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.
