Henry Miller

I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous man, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the man in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable
Henry Miller
Image
Until we lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
Henry Miller
Image
My hunger and curiosity drive me forward in all directions at once.
Henry Miller
Image
You have to write a million words before you find your voice as a writer.
Henry Miller
Image
Imagination is the voice of the daring.
Henry Miller
Image
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.
Henry Miller
Image
A world without hope, but no despair
Henry Miller
Image
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Henry Miller
Image
I read to be taken out of myself, to become ecstatic.
