“Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions?...” — Henry Miller Quote

“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.”

“Through endless night the earth whirls toward a creation unknown...”

“Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.”

“It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.”

“Fear is a disease that eats away at logic and makes man inhuman.”

“I was such a sullen, angry, sad kid. I'm sure there are writers who have had happy childhoods, but what are you going to write about? No ghosts, no fear. I'm very happy that I had an unhappy and uncomfortable childhood.”
