Henry Miller

The concert is a polite form of self induced torture.

One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one.

The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.

Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

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.

Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.

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