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.Henry Miller
I didn't have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing.
Henry Miller

He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. No man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in.
Henry Miller

Henry Miller
If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
