More quotes by Henry Miller

Image
Writing, like life itself, is a voyage of discovery. The adventure is a metaphysical one: it is a way of approaching life indirectly, of acquiring a total rather than a partial view of the universe. The writer lives between the upper and lower worlds: he takes the path in order eventually to become the path himself.

It is no accident that propels people like us to Paris.
Henry Miller
Image
The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.
Henry Miller

Men are not suffering from the lack of good literature, good art, good theatre, good music, but from that which has made it impossible for these to become manifest. In short, they are suffering from the silent shameful conspiracy (the more shameful since it is unacknowledged) which has bound them together as enemies of art and artists.

The wallpaper with which the men of science have covered the world of reality is falling to tatters. The grand whorehouse which they have made of life requires no decoration it is essential that only the drains function adequately. Beauty, that feline beauty that has us by the balls in America, is finished.

I don't know whether you've ever had a woman eat an apple while you were doing it. Well, you can imagine how that affects you.
Henry Miller
Image
The art of living is based on rhythm - on give & take, ebb & flow, light & dark, life & death. By acceptance of all aspects of life, good & bad, right & wrong, yours & mine, the static, defensive life, which is what most people are cursed with, is converted into a dance, 'the dance of life,' metamorphosis.

Obscenity is a cleansing process, whereas pornography only adds to the murk.
Henry Miller
Image
I had a microscopic eye for the blemish, for the grain of ugliness which to me constituted the sole beauty of the object.
Henry Miller
Image
Every day that we fail to live out the maximum of our potentialities we kill the Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, Christ which is in us.
Henry Miller
Image
I feel that America is essentially against the artist, that the enemy of America is the artist, because he stands for individuality and creativeness, and that's un-American somehow.
Henry Miller
Image
What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?
Henry Miller
Image
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Henry Miller
Image
I like the one about the little soulworms that fly out of the nest for the resurrection.

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.
