Text Quotes
It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human being, not with the mind, nor even with the heart (Henry Miller Quotes)
I had a microscopic eye for the blemish, for the grain of ugliness which to me constituted the sole beauty of the object (Henry Miller Quotes)
I made up my mind that I would hold onto nothing, that I would expect nothing (Henry Miller Quotes)
The monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses (Henry Miller Quotes)
To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself (Henry Miller Quotes)
We are swimming on the face of time and all else has drowned, is drowning, or will drown (Henry Miller Quotes)
For there is only one great adventure and that is inward toward the self, and for that, time nor space nor even deeds matter (Henry Miller Quotes)
As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance (Henry Miller Quotes)
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself (Henry Miller Quotes)
I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul (Henry Miller Quotes)
What I really hoped for, no doubt, was to come upon one of those lives which begin nowhere, which lead us through marshes and salt flats, trickling away, seemingly without plan, purpose or goal, and suddenly emerge, gushing like geysers, and never cease gushing, even in death (Henry Miller Quotes)
One thing is certain, that when you die and are resurrected you belong to the earth and whatever is of the earth is yours inalienably. You become an anomaly of nature, a being without shadow; you will never die again but only pass away like the phenomena about you (Henry Miller Quotes)
The city grows like a cancer; I must grow like a sun. The city eats deeper and deeper into the red; it is an insatiable white louse which must die eventually of inanition. I am going to starve the white louse which is eating me up. I am going to die as a city in order to become again a man. Therefore I close my ears, my eyes, my mouth (Henry Miller Quotes)
Giving and receiving are at bottom one thing, dependent on whether one lives open or closed. Living openly one becomes a medium, a transmitter; living thus, as a river, one experiences life to the full, flows along with the current of life, and dies in order to live again as an ocean (Henry Miller Quotes)
... when you are convinced that all the exits are blocked, either you take to believing in miracles or you stand still like the hummingbird. The miracle is that the honey is always there, right under your nose, only you were too busy searching elsewhere to realize it. The worst is not death but being blind, blind to the fact that everything about life is in the nature of the miraculous (Henry Miller Quotes)
Everyday we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read the lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Everyman, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths (Henry Miller Quotes)
Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song (Henry Miller Quotes)
To love! To surrender absolutely, to prostrate oneself before the divine image, to die a thousand imaginary deaths, to annihilate every trace of self, to find the whole universe embodied and enshrined in the living image of another! Adolescent, we say. Rot! This is the germ of the future life, the seed which we hide away, which we bury deep within us, which we smother and stifle and do our utmost to destroy as we advance from one experience to another and flutter and flounder and lose our way (Henry Miller Quotes)
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order (Henry Miller Quotes)
What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs (Henry Miller Quotes)
What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it? (Henry Miller Quotes)
Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge (Henry Miller Quotes)
If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without (Henry Miller Quotes)
I am crying for more and more disasters, for bigger calamities, for grander failures. I want the whole world to be out of whack, I want everyone to scratch himself to death (Henry Miller Quotes)
I hear not a word because she is beautiful and I love her and now I am happy and willing to die (Henry Miller Quotes)
For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood (Henry Miller Quotes)
I soon learned that one must give up everything and not do anything else but write, that one must write write write (Henry Miller Quotes)
Every man is working out his destiny in his own way and nobody can be of any help except by being kind, generous, and patient (Henry Miller Quotes)
The truly great writer does not want to write. He wants the world to be a place in which he can live the life of the imagination (Henry Miller Quotes)
Perhaps the artist is nothing more than the personification of this universal maladjustment, this universal disequilibrium (Henry Miller Quotes)
