Text Quotes
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Living with a whore--even the best whore in the world--isn’t a bed of roses  (Henry Miller Quotes) 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 Quotes) The light of Greece opened my eyes, penetrated my pores, expanded my whole being  (Henry Miller Quotes) We must be holy without holiness. We must be whole, complete. That’s being holy. Any other kind of holiness is false, a snare, and a delusion.  (Henry Miller 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) One of the best things Henry Miller ever said was that art goes all out. It’s all out. It goes full length. . . . A big book is an all-out book in which you limit your life to things that pertain directly to the book.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Life’, said Emerson, consists in what a man is thinking all day. If that be so, then my life is nothing but a big intestine.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Those who are truly decrepit, living corpses, so to speak, are the middle-aged, middle-class men and woman who are stuck in their comfortable grooves and imagine that the status quo will least forever or else are so frightened it won’t, that they have retreated into their mental bomb shelters to wait it out.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.  (Henry Miller Quotes) But it’s just because the chances are all against you, just because there is so little hope, that life is sweet over here.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Human beings make a strange fauna and flora. From a distance they appear negligible; close up they are apt to appear ugly and malicious. More than anything they need to be surrounded with sufficient space•space even more than time.  (Henry Miller Quotes) The most difficult thing to adjust to, apparently, is peace and contentment  (Henry Miller Quotes) France may one day exist no more, but the Dordogne will live on just as dreams live on and nourish the souls of men.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Surrealism is merely the reflection of the death process. It is one of the manifestations of a life becoming extinct, a virus which quickens the inevitable end.  (Henry Miller Quotes) 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 Quotes) Even if it doesn’t work, there is something healthy and invigorating about direct action  (Henry Miller Quotes) Remorse is impotence; it will sin again. Only repentance is strong - it can end everything.  (Henry Miller Quotes) People used to envy me my inspiration. I hate inspiration. It takes you over completely. I could never wait until it passed and I got rid of it.  (Henry Miller Quotes) The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we’re passing one another without a look of recognition.  (Henry Miller Quotes) 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 Quotes) Two of my favourite books are Henry Miller’s ‘Tropic of Cancer’ and ‘Tropic of Capricorn.’  (Henry Miller Quotes) We don’t trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Next to love friendship, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing life has to offer  (Henry Miller Quotes) Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others  (Henry Miller Quotes) I struggled in the beginning. I said I was going to write the truth, so help me God. And I thought I was. I found I couldn’t. Nobody can write the absolute truth.  (Henry Miller Quotes) Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Graham Greene - they influenced my life to a profound extent.  (Henry Miller Quotes) It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another person, not with the mind, not even with the heart.  (Henry Miller Quotes) I’ve always been inspired by Genet, Henry Miller and Hubert Selby, Jr., who taught me that you’ve got to tell a bigger truth in whatever you’re doing, but the truth is not popular.  (Henry Miller Quotes) I was influenced by autobiographical writers like Henry Miller, and I had actually done some autobiographical prose. But I just thought that comics were like virgin territory. There was so much to be done. It excited me. I couldn’t draw very well. I could write scripts and storyboard style using stick figures and balloons and captions.  (Henry Miller Quotes)
