More quotes by Henry Miller
You have to write a million words before you find your voice as a writer.
Henry Miller
I don't think we should read for instruction but to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.
Henry Miller
Do not be duped by little duties. Do not be a chore man all your days.
Henry Miller
I like the one about the little soulworms that fly out of the nest for the resurrection.
Henry Miller
Everyone has his own reality in which, if one is not too cautious, timid or frightened, one swims. This is the only reality there is.
Henry Miller
When spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise.
Henry Miller
Over there you think of nothing but becoming President of the United States some day. Potentially every man is Presidential timber. Here it's different. Here every man is potentially a zero. If you become something or somebody it is an accident, a miracle.
Henry Miller
I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself.
Henry Miller
The practice of any art demands more than 'mere savoir faire'. One must not only be in love with what one does, one must also know how to make love. In love self is obliterated. Only the beloved counts.
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
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
For a metaphysical treat stop at the Big Sur Inn, which is also a haven for stray cats and dogs. Life along the South Coast is just a bed of roses, with a few thorns and nettles interspersed.
Henry Miller
There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.
Henry Miller
True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.
Henry Miller
For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal.
Henry Miller
All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet.
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
Serenity is when you get above all this, when it doesn't matter what they think, say or want, but when you do as you are, and see God and Devil as one.
Henry Miller
The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.
Henry Miller
I had no more need of God than He had of me, and if there were one, I often said to myself, I would meet Him calmly and spit in His face.
Henry Miller
