Henry Miller
Image
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation. Lend and borrow to the maximum.

Image
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.

Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation... The other eight are unimportant.
Henry Miller

Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller
Image
I'd rather sit down and write a letter than call someone up. I hate the telephone.

They were painfully clean. But inwardly they stank. Never once had they opened the door which leads to the soul never once did they dream of taking a blind leap into the dark.
