"All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience."― Henry Miller Topic(s): ExperienceMore From Henry Miller"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.""We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets – we remember only.""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."More In Experience"There are some things you only learn through experience."― Joe Namath"Any experience can be transformed into something of value."― Vash Young"Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues."― Abigail Adams
