Until it is kindled by a spirit as flamingly alive as the one which gave it birth a book is dead to us. Words divested of their magic are but dead hieroglyphs (Henry Miller Quotes)
Once you have given up the ghost, everything follows with dead certainty, even in the midst of chaos (Henry Miller Quotes)
Everyone has his own reality in which, if one is not too cautious, timid or frightened, one swims. This is the only reality there is (Henry Miller Quotes)
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end (Henry Miller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
It’s good to be just plain happy, it’s a little better to know that you’re happy; but to understand that you’re happy and to know why and how and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss (Henry Miller Quotes)
On the meridian of time, there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama (Henry Miller Quotes)
When you surrender, the problem ceases to exist. Try to solve it, or conquer it, and you only set up more resistance... The most difficult thing to admit, and to realize with one’s whole being, is that you alone control nothing (Henry Miller Quotes)
You start with the sublime and end up in an alley jerking away for dear life (Henry Miller Quotes)
Who wants to be a hundred? What’s the point of it? A short life and a merry one is far better than a long one sustained by fear, caution, and perpetual medical surveillance (Henry Miller Quotes)
Everything was for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. The present was only a bridge and on this bridge they are still groaning, as the world groans, and not one idiot ever thinks of blowing up the bridge (Henry Miller Quotes)
My understanding of the meaning of a book is that the book itself disappears from sight, that it is chewed alive, digested and incorporated into the system as flesh and blood which in turn creates new spirit and reshapes the world (Henry Miller Quotes)
The smile was so painfully swift and fleeting that it was like the flash of a knife (Henry Miller Quotes)
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 (Henry Miller Quotes)
There will be more calamities, more death, more despair. Not the slightest indication of a change anywhere. The cancer of our time is eating us away. Our heroes have killed themselves, or are killing themselves (Henry Miller Quotes)
I am of the order whose purpose is not to teach the world a lesson but to explain that school is over (Henry Miller Quotes)
I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company (Henry Miller Quotes)
I haven’t any allegiance, any responsibilities, any hatreds, any worries, any prejudices, any passion. I’m neither for nor against. I’m a neutral (Henry Miller Quotes)
Whoever uses the spirit that is in him creatively is an artist. To make living itself an art, that is the goal (Henry Miller Quotes)
Surely every one realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen (Henry Miller Quotes)
To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs, and a little knowledge of music. It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is to want to sing. This then is a song. I am singing (Henry Miller Quotes)
What have we to offer the world beside the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment? (Henry Miller Quotes)
We create our fate every day... most of the ills we suffer from are directly traceable to our own behavior (Henry Miller Quotes)
Your nearness is the nearness of planets. I am the void between you. If I withdraw there will be no void for you to swim in (Henry Miller Quotes)
I have made a silent compact with myself not to change a line of what I write. I am not interested in perfecting my thoughts, nor my actions (Henry Miller Quotes)
I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous man, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the man in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable (Henry Miller Quotes)
We are dancing in the hollow of nothingness. We are one flesh, but separated like stars (Henry Miller Quotes)
Man, as man, has never realized himself. The greater part of him, his potential being, has always been submerged. What is history if not the endless story of his repeated failures? (Henry Miller Quotes)
He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals (Henry Miller Quotes)
What seems nasty, painful, evil can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind (Henry Miller Quotes)
