Text Quotes
All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten (Henry Miller Quotes)
The sordid qualities imputed to the enemy are always those which we recognize as our own and therefore rise to slay, because only through projection do we realize the enormity and horror of them (Henry Miller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I am re-reading Henry James as a change from history. I began with Daisy Miller, and I’ve just finished Washington Square. What a brilliant, painful book (Henry Miller Quotes)
After all, most writing is done away from the typewriter, away from the desk. I’d say it occurs in the quiet, silent moments, while you’re walking or shaving or playing a game, or whatever, or even talking to someone you’re not vitally interested in (Henry Miller Quotes)
The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it (Henry Miller Quotes)
Fame is an illusive thing - here today, gone tomorrow. The fickle, shallow mob raises its heroes to the pinnacle of approval today and hurls them into oblivion tomorrow at the slightest whim; cheers today, hisses tomorrow; utter forgetfulness in a few months (Henry Miller Quotes)
No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes (Henry Miller Quotes)
I will never again go to people under false pretenses even if it is to give them the Holy Bible. I will never again sell anything, even if I have to starve. I am going home now and I will sit down and really write about people (Henry Miller Quotes)
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 (Henry Miller Quotes)
All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet. There are passages in Ulysses which can be read only in the toilet - if one wants to extract the full flavor of their content (Henry Miller Quotes)
Reality is not protected or defended by laws, proclamations, ukases, cannons and armadas. Reality is that which is sprouting all the time out of death and disintegration (Henry Miller Quotes)
I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced. We are all alone here and we are dead (Henry Miller Quotes)
Certainly paradise, whatever, wherever it be, contains flaws. (Paradisical flaws, if you like.) If it did not, it would be incapable of drawing the hearts of men or angels (Henry Miller Quotes)
The essential thing is to WANT to sing. This then is a song. I am singing (Henry Miller Quotes)
Day by day. No yesterdays and no tomorrows. The barometer never changes, the flag is always at half-mast (Henry Miller Quotes)
I saw through to the last sign and symbol, but I could not read her face. I could see only the eyes shining through, huge, fleshy-like luminous beasts, as though I were swimming behind them in the electric effluvia of her incandescent vision (Henry Miller Quotes)
Have you ever seen a genius out there looking for a job? it’s the saddest thing in the world. no one will hire him. there is only one place where he is always welcome- at the bottom (Henry Miller Quotes)
In this way, writers are indeed, as Henry Miller suggested, traitors to the human race. We may turn a light on inequity, injustice, and oppression from time to time, but we regularly kill what we love in insidious fashion (Henry Miller Quotes)
When I realize that she is gone, perhaps gone forever, a great void opens up and I feel that I am falling, falling, falling into deep, black space. And this is worse than tears, deeper than regret or pain or sorrow, it is the abyss into which Satan was plunged. There is no climbing back, no ray of light, no sound of human voice or human touch of hand (Henry Miller Quotes)
Waiting for Godot was not allowed. Neither was Henry Miller. The Soviets condemned them both. Miller would have been used as an example of decadence, being a very good analyst of how terrible and monstrous American culture was. That they liked, but they wouldn’t publish him. I guess it must have been the sex. With Beckett, it must have been the hopelessness (Henry Miller Quotes)
I never liked the language of Henry Miller. I don’t think pornography has added to our sensual life (Henry Miller Quotes)
There’s something perverse about women...they’re all masochists at heart (Henry Miller Quotes)
Art is only a means to life, the life more abundant. It merely points the way (Henry Miller Quotes)
The full and joyful acceptance of the worst in oneself may be the only sure way of transforming it (Henry Miller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
My one thought is to get out of New York, to experience something genuinely American (Henry Miller Quotes)
It isn’t the oceans which cut us off from the world - it’s the American way of looking at things. (Henry Miller Quotes)
When a situation gets so bad that no solution seems possible there is left only murder and suicide, or both. These failing, one becomes a buffoon. (Henry Miller Quotes)
