More quotes by Henry Miller
There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.
Henry Miller
Every day that we fail to live out the maximum of our potentialities we kill the Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, Christ which is in us.
Henry Miller
Next to love friendship, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing life has to offer.
Henry Miller
The vast difference between astrology and other sciences, if I may put it thus, is that astrology deals not with facts but with profundities. The solid ground on which the scientist pretends to rest gives way, in astrology, to imponderables.
Henry Miller
Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.
Henry Miller
The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.
Henry Miller
Were there a Christian so faithful to his God as I was to her we would all be Jesus Christ today.
Henry Miller
Until we lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
Henry Miller
The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.
Henry Miller
I'd rather sit down and write a letter than call someone up. I hate the telephone.
Henry Miller
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Henry Miller
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
To paint is to love again, and to love is to live life to the fullest.
Henry Miller
Perhaps I have not lined his portrait too clearly. But if he exists, if only for the reason that I have imagined him to be. He came from the blue and returns to the blue. He has not perished, he is not lost. Neither will he be forgotten.
Henry Miller
I demanded a realm in which I should be both master and slave at the same time: The world of art is the only such realm.
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
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.
Henry Miller
True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.
Henry Miller
And the books you write. They're not you. They're not me sitting here, this Henry Miller. They belong to someone else. It's terrible. You can never rest.
Henry Miller
There is something else to be said about this immediate, spontaneous way of working, and that is this: in such moments, one is playing at the game of creation.
Henry Miller
