You can forgive a young cunt anything. A young cunt doesn't have to have brains. They're better without brains. But an old cunt, even if she's brilliant, even if she's the most charming woman in the world, nothing makes any difference. A young cunt is an investment; an old cunt is a dead loss. All they can do for you is buy you things. But that doesn't put meat on their arms or juice between their legs. Henry Miller

We would drop our tools, quit our jobs, deny our obligations, pay no taxes, observe no laws, and so on. Could the man or woman who is thoroughly awakened possibly do the crazy things which are now expected of him or her every moment of the day? Henry Miller
There’s something depraved about screwing a woman who doesn’t give a fuck about it. It heats your blood…” And then, after a moment’s meditation— “Can you imagine what she’d be like if she had any feelings? Henry Miller
Henry Miller quote: "They move about listlessly and apparently without much..."
They move about listlessly and apparently without much purpose; they might just as well be lunatics. Henry Miller
In the four hundred years since the last devouring soul appeared; the last man to know the meaning of ecstasy, there has been a constant and steady decline of man in art, in thought, in action. The world is pooped out: there isn’t a dry fart left. Henry Miller
Henry Miller quote: "Example moves the world more than doctrine."
Example moves the world more than doctrine. Henry Miller
Henry Miller quote: "I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man..."
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. 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. Henry Miller
