More From Henry Miller
- "Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves."
- "We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets – we remember only."
- "No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance."
