All the lies and evasions by which man has nourished himself civilization, in a word is the fruits of the creative artist. It is the creative nature of man which has refused to let him lapse back into that unconscious unity with life which characterizes the animal world from which he made his escape.
Henry MillerEvery day the choice is presented to us, to live up to the spirit that is in us, or deny it.
Henry MillerThe poem is the dream made flesh, in a two-fold sense: as work of art, and as life, which is a work of art.
