Henry Miller quotes

It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world -- it's the American way of looking at things.
- Henry Miller
The waking mind is the least serviceable in the arts.
- Henry Miller
Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.
- Henry Miller
Nine-tenths of our sickness can be prevented by right thinking plus right hygiene -- nine-tenths of it!
- Henry Miller
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
- Henry Miller
