Henry Miller

Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed.

The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.
