More quotes by Henry Miller
When spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise.
Henry Miller
The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean-when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
Henry Miller
If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without.
Henry Miller
The more I wrote, the more I became a human being. The writing may have seemed monstrous (to some) for it was a violation, but I became a more human individual because of it. I was getting the poison out of my system.
Henry Miller
Perhaps I am still very much of an American. That is to say, naïve, optimistic, gullible. In the eyes of a European, what am I but an American to the core, an American who exposes his Americanism like a sore. Like it or not, I am a product of this land of plenty, a believer in superabundance, a believer in miracles.
Henry Miller
Better to separate than never to marry.
Henry Miller
Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.
Henry Miller
The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.
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
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
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
Until we lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
Henry Miller
Words are loneliness.
Henry Miller
It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.
Henry Miller
Perhaps I have not lined his portrait too clearly. But if he exists, if only for the reason that I have imagined him to be. He came from the blue and returns to the blue. He has not perished, he is not lost. Neither will he be forgotten.
Henry Miller
If you can fall in love again and again if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical you've got it half licked.
Henry Miller
It is no accident that propels people like us to Paris.
Henry Miller
The most wonderful opportunity which life offers is to be human.
Henry Miller
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes.
Henry Miller
The man who is intoxicated with life does not pass judgment, does not seek to come to a conclusion, does not impose his message on the world.
Henry Miller
