More Quotes from Henry Miller:
I'm an egotist, but I'm not selfish. There's a difference. I'm a neurotic, I guess. I can't stop thinking about myself. It isn't that I think myself so important... I simply can't think about anything else, that's all. If I could fall in love with a woman that might help some. But I can't find a woman who interests me.Henry Miller

Remorse is impotence, it will sin again. Only repentance is strong, it can end everything.
Henry Miller
We have been educated to such a fine or dull point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.
Henry Miller
The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.
