More quotes by Henry Miller
If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
Henry Miller
Topographically the country is magnificent - and terrifying. Why terrifying? Because nowhere else in the world is the divorce between man and nature so complete. Nowhere have I encountered such a dull, monotonous fabric of life as here in America. Here boredom reaches its peak.
Henry Miller
When you travel often, you will be addicted to it forever.
Henry Miller
Whatever I do is done out of sheer joy I drop my fruits like a ripe tree. What the general reader or the critic makes of them is not my concern.
Henry Miller
At the bottom of every frozen heart there is a drop or two of love―just enough to feed the birds.
Henry Miller
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Henry Miller
Surely every one realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen.
Henry Miller
I couldn't allow myself to think about her very long if I had I would have jumped off the bridge. It's strange. I had become so reconciled to this life without her, and yet if I thought about her only for a minute it was enough to pierce the bone and marrow of my contentment and shove me back again into the agonizing gutter of my wretched past.
Henry Miller
When you meet the man [Brassai] you see at once that he is equipped with no ordinary eyes. And the sharpness of vision and depth of insight are revealed in Brassai's lifelong photographic exploration of Paris - its people, places, and things.
Henry Miller
I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.
Henry Miller
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.
Henry Miller
Next to love friendship, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing life has to offer.
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 believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.
Henry Miller
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.
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
Writing is its own reward.
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
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
And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean, when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
Henry Miller
