More quotes by Henry Miller
Words are loneliness.
Henry Miller
The waking mind, you see, is the least serviceable in the arts.
Henry Miller
Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.
Henry Miller
The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
Henry Miller
I am positively against all this crap which is carried on first in the name of this thing, then in the name of that. I believe only in what is active, immediate, and personal.
Henry Miller
I think someday you're going to be a great writer, he said. But he added maliciously, first you'll have to suffer a bit. I mean really suffer, because you don't know what the word means yet. You only think you've suffered. You've got to fall in love first.
Henry Miller
I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced. We are all alone here and we are dead.
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
There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.
Henry Miller
Every man is working out his destiny in his own way and nobody can be of any help except by being kind, generous, and patient.
Henry Miller
To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs, and a little knowledge of music. It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is to want to sing. This then is a song. I am singing.
Henry Miller
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Henry Miller
A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there - that of the pulse, the heart beat.
Henry Miller
In every man's heart there is anchored a little schooner.
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
To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.
Henry Miller
By choosing to live above the ordinary level we create extraordinary problems for ourselves.
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
And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words?
Henry Miller
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
Henry Miller
