Henry Miller
Image
It's the pleasure of picking up the brush and seeing what happens.
Henry Miller
Image
At the bottom of every frozen heart there is a drop or two of love―just enough to feed the birds.
Henry Miller

Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring.
Henry Miller
Image
Do not be duped by little duties. Do not be a chore man all your days.
Henry Miller
Image
The poet speaks adequately only when he speaks somewhat wildly... not with intellect alone, but with intellect inebriated by nectar.
Henry Miller
Image
The only difference between the Adamic man and the man of today is that the one was born to Paradise and the other has to create it.

Whoever uses the spirit that is in him creatively is an artist. To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
