And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words?
From Henry Miller
Actors die so loud.
Sin, guilt, neurosis; they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.
The concert is a polite form of self induced torture.
I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Until we accept the fact that life itself is founded in mystery, we shall learn nothing.
The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
