I suddenly recalled that it was here in the squalor and gloom of this sunken street, terrorized perhaps by a premonition of the future, that Mona clung to me and with a quivering voice begged me to promise that I would never leave her, never, no matter what happened. And, only a few days later, I stood on the platform of the Gare St. Lazare and I watched the train pull out, the train that was bearing her away; she was leaning out of the window, just as she had leaned out of the window when I left her in New York, and there was that same, sad, inscrutable smile on her face, that last-minute look which is intended to convey so much, but which is only a mask that is twisted by a vacant smile.
Henry MillerToday I am proud to say that I am inhuman, that I belong not to men and governments, that I have nothing to do with creeds and principles. I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity-I belong to the earth!
Henry MillerOne can wait a whole lifetime for a moment like this. The woman whom you never hoped to meet now sits before you and she talks and looks exactly like the person you dreamed about. But the strangest of all is that you never realized before that you had dreamed about her. Your whole past is like a long sleep, which would have been forgotten had there been no dream. And the dream too, might have been forgotten had there been no memory, but remembrance is there in the blood and the blood is like an ocean in which every thing is washed away, but that which is new and more substantial even than life: Reality.
Henry MillerHer eyes were so big and bright, as if they saw more than they could comprehend. Bright with terror, and beneath the terror a limitless confusion. That’s what made them so beautifully bright. You have to be crazy to see things so lucidly, so all at once. If you’re great you can stay that way and people will believe in you, swear by you, turn the world upside down for you. But if you’re only partly great, or just a nobody, then what happens to you is lost.

The before dinner atmosphere, the blend of patchouli, warm pitchblend, iced electricity, sugared sweat and powdered urine drives one on to a fever of delerious expectancy.
Henry MillerI didn't give a fuck whether I found anything or not. The thing is, never to be too anxious. Everything comes in due time.

When a situation gets so bad that no solution seems possible there is left only murder and suicide, or both. These failing, one becomes a buffoon.
Henry MillerTag: true
Mắt của cô thật to và sáng, như thể chúng nhìn thấy nhiều hơn chúng có thể hiểu được. Sáng lên với kinh hoàng, và ở bên dưới sự kinh hoàng là sự lúng túng vô bờ bến. Đó là thứ làm cho chúng trông thật sáng. Bạn phải bị điên để nhìn được mọi thứ thật rõ ràng, thật cùng một lúc. Nếu bạn vĩ đại bạn có thể giữ nguyên như thế và người ta sẽ tin vào bạn, sẽ thề bằng tên bạn, sẽ đảo lộn thế giới cho bạn. Nhưng nếu bạn chỉ hơi hơi vĩ đại, hoặc không là gì cả, thì thứ xảy ra với bạn là lạc lối.
