Henry Miller Quotes

«An artist is always alone / if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.»
«Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.»
«Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.»
«The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.»
«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.»
«It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.»
«Sin, guilt, neurosis /they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.»
«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.»
«Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?»
«If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.»
