More quotes by Henry Miller
Cluster together like stars!
Henry Miller
'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
Keep your exclamation points under control!
Henry Miller
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Henry Miller
The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.
Henry Miller
Every day the choice is presented to us, to live up to the spirit that is in us, or deny it.
Henry Miller
But it's just because the chances are all against you, just because there is so little hope, that life is sweet over here.
Henry Miller
If you can fall in love again and again if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical you've got it half licked.
Henry Miller
The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.
Henry Miller
One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.
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
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller
I read to be taken out of myself, to become ecstatic.
Henry Miller
I had to learn to think, feel, and see in a totally new fashion, in an uneducated way, in my own way, which is the hardest thing in the world. I had to throw myself into the current, knowing that I would probably sink.
Henry Miller
Man torturing man is a fiend beyond description. You turn a corner in the dark and there he is. You congeal into a bundle of inanimate fear. You become the very soul of anesthesia. But there is no escaping him. It is your turn now.
Henry Miller
Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines - these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm.
Henry Miller
The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.
Henry Miller
All the men she's been with and now you, just you, and the barges going by, masts and hulls, the whole damned current of life flowing through you, through her, through all the guys behind you and after you, the flowers and the birds and the sun streaming in and the fragrance of it choking you, annihilating you.
Henry Miller
The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.
Henry Miller
The only difference between the Adamic man and the man of today is that the one was born to Paradise and the other has to create it.
Henry Miller
