Quote by -Henry Miller
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.
Quote by -Henry Miller
Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.
Quote by -Henry Miller
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.
Quote by -Henry Miller
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.

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.
Quote by -Henry Miller
I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.
Quote by -Henry Miller
We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets - we remember only.

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.
Quote by -Henry Miller
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.

Quote by -Henry Miller
No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.
Quote by -Henry Miller
The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.
Quote by -Henry Miller
The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.
Quote by -Henry Miller
The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens.
Quote by -Henry Miller
Whatever I do is done out of sheer joy; I drop my fruits like a ripe tree. What the general reader or the critic makes of them is not my concern.
Quote by -Henry Miller
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.
Quote by -Henry Miller
It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.

Quote by -Henry Miller

Quote by -Henry Miller
If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.
Quote by -Henry Miller
And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words?
