Henry Miller



"I don't use 'heroes"...nor do I write novels. I am the hero, and the book is myself."

"I believe that man can exist, and in an infinitely better, larger way, without civilization."

"Estoy en contra de la pornografía y a favor de la obscenidad."

"Every man has two countries, his own and France."

" When at last each man realizes that nothing is to be expected from God, or society, or friends, or benevolent tyrants, or democratic governments, or saints, or saviours, or even the holliest of holies, education, when each man realizes that he must work with his own hands to save himself, and that he need expect no mercy, perhaps then..Perhaps!"

"A book is no better than, and usually not as good as, a rock, a tree, a creature of the wild, a wisp of cloud, a wave, or a shadow on the wall."
