Henry Miller Quotes

"The primary function of art is to make us understand what life means""If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms ""Growth is the only evidence of life ""Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring ""In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance ""We live at the edge of the miraculous ""There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy ""Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such ""The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts ""If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having ""I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive""Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not yet understood""The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way""Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack""Every man has his own destiny; the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him""All of my thoughts are second thoughts""The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself""All growth is a leap in the dark a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience""Living in a dream of the future is considered a waste of time. You have to live in the present and let the future take care of itself""The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love"
