Henry Miller

"To paint is to love again, live again, see again. To get up at the crack of dawn in order to take a peek at the water colors one did the day before, or even a few hours before, is like stealing a look at the beloved while she sleeps. The thrill is even greater if one has first to draw back the curtains. How they glow in the cold light of early dawn! Is there any writer who rouses himself at daybreak in order to read the pages of his manuscript? Perish the thought!"

"Obscenity is a cleansing process, whereas pornography only adds to the murk."

Morality

Quote_1.png
Henry Miller
"It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd."

Society

Quote_1.png
Henry Miller
"I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots."

Criticism

Henry Miller
"Art consists in going the full length. If you start with the drums you have to end with dynamite, or TNT."

Intensity

Quote_1.png
Henry Miller
"One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life."

Life

Quote_1.png
Henry Miller
"Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning."

Life

Quote_1.png
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."

Life

Quote_1.png
Henry Miller
"The world is a cancer eating itself away... I am think that when the great silence descends upon all and everywhere music will at last triumph. When into the womb of time everything is again withdrawn chaos will be restored and chaos is the score upon which reality is written."

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Henry Miller
"You can forgive a young cunt anything. A young cunt doesn't have to have brains. They're better without brains. But an old cunt, even if she's brilliant, even if she's the most charming woman in the world, nothing makes any difference. A young cunt is an investment; an old cunt is a dead loss. All they can do for you is buy you things. But that doesn't put meat on their arms or juice between their legs."

Society

Henry Miller
"Whoever uses the spirit that isin him creatively is an artist. Tomake living itself an art, that isthe goal."
