"My son wants to have a reason for everything he does. I abhor reason and logic. I do things, write things, to find out why I wanted to do them. For me all is thé joy of discovery"
Dear Dear Brenda; The love letters of Henry Miller to Brenda Venus - pg. 28
It's good to just plain happy, it's'a little better to know that you're happy and to know why and how, in what way, because of what concatenation of events or circumstances, and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss...
The Colossus of Maroussi by Henry Miller
pg. 15
"I always planted in him a desire to become better acquainted with the English language, not because I deemed it the best language in the world but because no one I knew used it with its full potency"
H. Miller - pg 43

"If I were to have money I might become careless and negligent, believing in a security which does not exist, stressing those values which are illusory and empty"

"The life of the artist, his devotion to art, is the highest and the last phase of egotism in man"
The Colossus of Maroussi pg. 180
-Henry Miller
"To live creatively, I have discovered, means to live more and more unselfishly, to live more and more into the world, identifying one self with it and thus influencing it at the core, so to speak"
The Colossus of Maroussi - pg. 180
"If out of clay such an abstract medium as words can be shaped what is to hinder us from leaving our bodies at will and taking up our abode on other planets or between the planets? What is to prevent us from rearranging all life, atomic, molecular, corporeal, stellar, divine? We have yet to say greater things beyond saying, things limitless and inconceivable, things which no trick of language can encompass"
The Colossus of Maroussi - pg 65
"Peace is not the opposite of war any more than death is the opposite of life"
The Colossus of Maroussi - pg 68
"Hungry but not famished, yearning but not whining"
Book of Friends - Henry Miller

"I was not made for marriage, that seemed obvious. I was born to be a creative individual, a writer, no less. The only lesson I have learned in all these affairs is that an artist should never marry."
Book of Friends - Henry Miller
"Ignorance is forgivable, but not stupidity."
Book of Friends - Henry Miller
pg. 291
"'The age of puberty,' I believe they call it. A period of total contradictions; one day hot, the next day cold; a fervid friend today, tomorrow a heartless son-of-a-bitch. And so on. The way older folk regard this period in their progeny is painful. They refer it to as 'growing up'. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is the period when one loses one of man's most precious qualities - innocence. And what a loss this is only poets know. To become a man in this stinking civilization is tantamount to becoming a rat. It means retrogression, not evolution."
Book of Friends - Henry Miller
pg. 312
"Those in prison are often better than those who put them there. Thieves and pimps are far more interesting than preachers and teachers"
Book of Friends - pg 122
“I wanted a metamorphosis, a change to fish, to leviathan, to destroyer. I wanted the earth to open up, to swallow everything in one engulfing yawn. I wanted to see the city buried fathoms deep in the bosom of the sea. I wanted to sit in a cave and read by candlelight. I wanted that eye extinguished so that I might have a chance to know my own body, my own desires. I wanted to be alone for a thousand years in order to reflect on what I had seen and heard - and in order to forget.”
Henry Miller - Tropic of Capricorn
"We have surrendered to despair. Ecstasy has given way to drunkenness. A man who is intoxicated with life sees visions, not snakes."
Henry Miller, Nexus - Rosy Crucifix Trilogy - pg. 237
