More quotes by Henry Miller
As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.
Henry Miller
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
The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.
Henry Miller
Do not be duped by little duties. Do not be a chore man all your days.
Henry Miller
Were there a Christian so faithful to his God as I was to her we would all be Jesus Christ today.
Henry Miller
For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal.
Henry Miller
The enchanting, and sometimes terrifying, thing is that the world can be so many things to so many different souls. That it can be, and is, all these things at once and the same time.
Henry Miller
The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
Henry Miller
If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without.
Henry Miller
Don't look for miracles. You yourself are the miracle.
Henry Miller
Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
Henry Miller
Better to separate than never to marry.
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
Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines - these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm.
Henry Miller
Surrealism is merely the reflection of the death process. It is one of the manifestations of a life becoming extinct, a virus which quickens the inevitable end.
Henry Miller
I had to learn to think, feel, and see in a totally new fashion, in an uneducated way, in my own way, which is the hardest thing in the world. I had to throw myself into the current, knowing that I would probably sink.
Henry Miller
One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.
Henry Miller
The vast difference between astrology and other sciences, if I may put it thus, is that astrology deals not with facts but with profundities. The solid ground on which the scientist pretends to rest gives way, in astrology, to imponderables.
Henry Miller
All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet.
Henry Miller
Part of the act of creating is in discovering your own kind. They are everywhere. But don't look for them in the wrong places.
Henry Miller
