More quotes by Henry Miller

Image
Real love is never perplexed, never qualifies, never rejects, never demands. It replenishes, by grace of restoring unlimited circulation. It burns, because it knows the true meaning of sacrifice. It is life illuminated.
Henry Miller
Image
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
Henry Miller
Image
I read to be taken out of myself, to become ecstatic.
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
When spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise.
Henry Miller
Image
Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines - these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm.
Henry Miller
Image
We create our fate every day . . . most of the ills we suffer from are directly traceable to our own behavior.
Henry Miller
Image
Words, sentences, ideas, no matter how subtle or ingenious, the maddest flights of poetry, the most profound dreams, the most hallucinating visions, are but crude hieroglyphs chiseled in pain and sorrow to commemorate an event which is untransmissible.
Henry Miller
Image
Cluster together like stars!
Henry Miller
Image
Do anything, but let it produce joy. Do anything, but let it yield ecstasy.
Henry Miller
Image
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation. Lend and borrow to the maximum.
Henry Miller
Image
To imagine a new world is to live it daily, each thought, each glance, each step, each gesture, killing and recreating, death always a step in advance. To spit on the past is not enough. To proclaim the future is not enough. One must act as if the past were dead and the future unrealizable.
Henry Miller
Image
The concert is a polite form of self induced torture.
Henry Miller
Image
I feel that America is essentially against the artist, that the enemy of America is the artist, because he stands for individuality and creativeness, and that's un-American somehow.
Henry Miller
Image
Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed.
Henry Miller
Image
The most difficult thing to adjust to, apparently, is peace and contentment.
Henry Miller
Image
The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.
Henry Miller
Image
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation... A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.
Henry Miller
Image
I like the one about the little soulworms that fly out of the nest for the resurrection.
Henry Miller

What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?
