More quotes by Henry Miller
Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.
Henry Miller
Through endless night the earth whirls toward a creation unknown.
Henry Miller
I felt free and chained at the same time - like one feels just before election, when all the crooks have been nominated and you are beseeched to vote for the right man.
Henry Miller
In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance.
Henry Miller
My hunger and curiosity drive me forward in all directions at once.
Henry Miller
When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.
Henry Miller
No man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in.
Henry Miller
The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.
Henry Miller
The history of the world is the history of the privileged few.
Henry Miller
The best technique is none at all.
Henry Miller
The only law which is really lived up to wholeheartedly and with a vengeance is the law of conformity.
Henry Miller
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.
Henry Miller
If any man dared to translate all that is in his heart, to put down what is really his experience, what is truly his truth, I think then the world would go to smash, that it would be blown to smithereens and no god, no accident, no will could ever again assemble the pieces, the atoms, the indestructible elements that have gone to make up the world.
Henry Miller
I had no more need of God than He had of me, and if there were one, I often said to myself, I would meet Him calmly and spit in His face.
Henry Miller
For a metaphysical treat stop at the Big Sur Inn, which is also a haven for stray cats and dogs. Life along the South Coast is just a bed of roses, with a few thorns and nettles interspersed.
Henry Miller
One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one.
Henry Miller
Over there you think of nothing but becoming President of the United States some day. Potentially every man is Presidential timber. Here it's different. Here every man is potentially a zero. If you become something or somebody it is an accident, a miracle.
Henry Miller
The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.
Henry Miller
What seems nasty, painful, evil can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind.
Henry Miller
If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
Henry Miller
