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.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.
