Miller, Henry

There is something majestic about Paris at night (Silent days in Clichy)

At night, as seen from Montmartre, Paris is truly magical - lying like the slivers of a giant diamond in the depths of a shell

Always borrow from a pessimist. He doesn't expect to get the money back

The Circus opens a tiny gap in the arena of oblivion. For a short span we may lose ourselves, dissolve in wonder and bliss, transformed by mystery

The right attitude towards money is one of covetous contempt

I believe that sexual liberation has been profoundly misunderstood. Porn kills the sex

Yes, women rule us in America, there's no denying that. I watch these happy French people around me and I admire the women, the wives. The best wives in the world

Every war is a defeat of the human spirit

Quiet Days in Clichy

The Seine flows so calmly that one hardly notices that it is there. It is always there, silent and unobtrusive like a great vein running through the human body

Specialists are people who only have one string on their fiddle

Virtue is called the sum of the things that we do not want to have done out of laziness, cowardice or stupidity

Who can say anything about love? Why do we love? There's no logic to that. One is a slave. You are mercilessly tied up. Helpless. A victim

Only the hamster in the wheel is really potent
