Henry Miller Quote: “The essential thing is to WANT to sing. This then is a song. I am singing.”
Henry Miller Quote: “When man becomes fully conscious of his powers, his role, his destiny, he is an artist and he ceases his struggle with reality.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “Plots and character don’t make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.”
Henry Miller Quote: “The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Art is only a means to life, the life more abundant. It merely points the way.”
Henry Miller Quote: “All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet.”
Henry Miller Quote: “We are swimming on the face of time and all else has drowned, is drowning, or will drown.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “I had to learn, as I soon did, that one must give up everything and not do anything else but write, that one must writer and write and write, even if everybody in the world advises you against it, even if nobody believes in you.”
Henry Miller Quote: “I used to think a bird couldn’t fly if its wings got wet.”
Henry Miller Quote: “There are times when I myself no longer know whether I said and did the things I report or whether I dreamed them up. Anyway, I always dream true. If I lie a bit now and then it is mainly in the interest of truth.”
Henry Miller Quote: “We do not talk – we bludgeon one another with facts and theories gleaned from cursory readings of newspapers, magazines and digests.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Imagination is the voice of the daring.”
Henry Miller Quote: “We create our fate everyday.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Why change the world? Change worlds!”
Henry Miller Quote: “Example moves the world more than doctrine.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “My world of human beings had perished. I was utterly alone in the world and for friends I had the streets, and the streets spoke to me in that sad, bitter language compounded of human misery, yearning, regret, failure, wasted effort.”
Henry Miller Quote: “One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life’s ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Als je verkiest met de kudde mee te lopen ben je immuun. Als je geaccepteerd en geapprecieerd wilt worden moet je jezelf tot een nulliteit maken, jezelf zo maken dat je niet van de kudde te onderscheiden bent. Je mag wel dromen, mits je droomt wat miljoenen anderen tegelijk dromen.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Every time you come to the limit of what is demanded of you, you are faced with the same problem-to be yourself!”
Henry Miller Quote: “Life becomes a spectacle and, if you happen to be an artist, you record the passing show.”
Henry Miller Quote: “The best technique is none at all.”
Henry Miller Quote: “What holds the world together, as I have learned from bitter experience, is sexual intercourse.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “The history of the world is the history of the privileged few.”
Henry Miller Quote: “To know Paris is to know a great deal.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Next to love friendship, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing life has to offer.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “To have her here in bed with me, breathing on me, her hair in my mouth – I count that something of a miracle.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Think only what is right there, what is right under your nose to do. It’s such a simple thing – that’s why people can’t do it.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “A world without hope, but no despair.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Many is the mirage I chased. Always I was overreaching myself. The oftener I touched reality, the harder I bounced back to the world of illusion, which is the name for everyday life.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.”
Henry Miller Quote: “The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.”
Henry Miller Quote: “I feel that America is essentially against the artist, that the enemy of America is the artist, because he stands for individuality and creativeness, and that’s un-American somehow.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “You are always laughing at the wrong moment; you are considered cruel and heartless when in reality you are only tough and durable. But if you would laugh when others laugh and weep when they weep then you must be prepared to die as they die and live as they live.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Everyman, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths.”
Henry Miller Quote: “I believe in saying the truth, coming out with it cold, shocking if necessary, not disguising it.”
Henry Miller Quote: “Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery.”
Henry Miller Quote: “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.”
