American Writer and Painter

• HENRY MILLER QUOTE OF THE PAGE
  
• The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
• 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.
• Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
• All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
• It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
• And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words?
• Instead of asking 'How much damage will the work in question bring about?' why not ask 'How much good? How much joy?'
• 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.
• Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.
• The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
• One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.
• Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.
• Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.
• In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
• Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
• 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.
• One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.
