The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.
From Henry Miller
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.
Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.
The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.
