The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues.You can't separate them. They're wedded.
Henry MillerPlots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.
Henry MillerThe dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.
Henry MillerGreat God! What have I turned into? What right have you people to clutter up my life, steal my time, probe my soul, suckle my thoughts, have me for your companion, confidant, and information bureau? What do you take me for? Am I an entertainer on salary, required every evening to play an intellectual farce under your stupid noses? Am I a slave, bought and paid for, to crawl on my belly in front of you idlers and lay at your feet all that I do and all that I know?
Henry Miller
