I have never been able to look upon America as young and vital but rather as prematurely old, as a fruit which rotted before it had a chance to ripen.

Henry Miller

American - Author December 26, 1891 - June 7, 1980

With the author

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller

The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.

Henry Miller

Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.

Henry Miller

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.

Henry Miller

No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe.

Henry Miller

Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.

Henry Miller

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

Henry Miller

The waking mind is the least serviceable in the arts.

I'm quite old-fashioned. I like going out to dinner. You have the chance to talk to somebody and get to know them better.

Harry Styles

Sometimes you have to stop to think, regroup and regather yourself and realize how lucky you are to still be living and to still be breathing and still be able to even have a chance.

Ciara

I never had a chance to play with dolls like other kids. I started working when I was six years old.

Billie Holiday

Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.

William Hurt

If you wish in this world to advance your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow your own trumpet, Or, trust me, you haven't a chance.

William Gilbert

The process and the great smells it produces make everyone hungry and get everyone's mouth watering. And it gives men a chance to cook.

Bobby Flay

It's fun. I sit down every day and tell stories. Some folk would kill to get that chance.

Bernard Cornwell

After high school, I went to Stanford University and majored in English. Of course, that gave me a chance to do lots more reading and writing. I also received degrees in London and Dublin - where I moved to be near a charming Irishman who became my husband!
