More quotes by Henry Miller
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
Henry Miller
Of course you don't die. Nobody dies. Death doesn't exist. You only reach a new level of vision, a new realm of consciousness, a new unknown world.
Henry Miller
Once you have given up the ghost, everything follows with dead certainty, even in the midst of chaos.
Henry Miller
We are dancing in the hollow of nothingness. We are one flesh, but separated like stars.
Henry Miller
You can travel fifty thousand miles in America without once tasting a piece of good bread.
Henry Miller
We must not just be in the world and above the world, but also of the world. To love it for what it is... is the only task. Avoid it and you are lost. Lose yourself in it, and you are free.
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
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller
The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.
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
It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world - it's the American way of looking at things.
Henry Miller
There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.
Henry Miller
The waking mind, you see, is the least serviceable in the arts.
Henry Miller
I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous man, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the man in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable
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
If you are well off and can afford to spend ten or twenty-five dollars a day to hire some patient soul to listen to your troubles you can be readjusted to the crazy scheme of things and spare yourself the humiliation of becoming a Christian Scientist. You can have your ego trimmed or removed, as you wish, just like a wart or bunion.
Henry Miller
Cluster together like stars!
Henry Miller
Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.
Henry Miller
At Epidaurus, in the stillness, in the great peace that came over me, I heard the heart of the world beat. I know what the cure is: it is to give up, to relinquish, to surrender, so that our little hearts may beat in unison with the great heart of the world.
Henry Miller
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
Henry Miller
