To live without killing is a thought which could electrify the world, if men were only capable of staying awake long enough to let the idea soak in.
Henry MillerOur own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.

Henry MillerShe rises up out of a sea of faces and embraces me, embraces me passionately--- a thousand eyes, noses, fingers, legs, bottles, windows, purses, saucers all glaring at us an we in each other's arm oblivious. I sit down beside her and she talks--- a flood of talk. Wild consumptive notes of hysteria, perversion, leprosy. I hear not a word because she is beautiful and I love her and now I am happy and willing to die.
