Hope is a bad thing. It means that you are not what you want to be. It means that part of you is dead, if not all of you. It means that you entertain illusions. It's a sort of spiritual clap, I should say.
Miller, Henry on Hope
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry on Knowledge
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Miller, Henry on Life and Living
Obscenity is a cleansing process, whereas pornography only adds to the murk.
Miller, Henry on Obscenity
Quote from Quotations Book
When part of what you're trying to get at is the truth hidden under a taboo, or when you want to nail a hypocrisy, laughter is a very useful tool. I want to show the painful side of existence, but there is no question

A pessimist? That's a person who has been intimately acquainted with an optimist.
