Quotes About Passion

Ik kwam er achter dat ik er mijn hele leven heus niet naar had verlang om te leven - als wat anderen doen tenminste leven genoemd kan worden - maar wel om mezelf te kunnen uitdrukken.

Naast dit mensenras bestaat nog een ras van wezens, de onmenselijken, het ras der kunstenaars die, door onbekende impulsen geprikkeld, de levenloze massa van de mensen nemen en door de koortshitte en gisting die zij daarin verwekken dit kleffe deeg in brood veranderen en het brood in wijn en de wijn in zang.

I sit down beside her and she talks—a flood of talk. Wild consumptive notes of hysteria, perversion, leprosy. I hear not a word because she is beautiful and I love her and now I am happy and willing to die.
~ Henry Miller

~ Henry Miller
One can't get bored with sex. But one is bored with making such a tremendous issue about it.
~ Henry Miller
What attracted me to her was her passion for Balzac. All the way home, she was talking to me about 'Lost Illusions'. The car was packed, and we were jammed so tight together that it didn't make any difference what we were talking about because we were only thinking of one thing.
~ Henry Miller

No one is born an artist. One elects for it! And when you elect to be the first and last among men you find nothing strange about sleeping with a donkey, putting your paws in the garbage pail, or swallowing reproaches and insults from all the near and dear ones who regard your way of life as a grave mistake.
~ Henry Miller

~ Henry Miller
Quien, por un amor demasiado grande, lo que al fin y al cabo es monstruoso, muere de sufrimiento, renace para no conocer ni amor ni odio, sino para disfrutar. Y ese disfrute de la vida, por haberse adquirido de forma no natural, es un veneno que tarde temprano corrompe al mundo entero. Lo que nace más allá de los límites del sufrimiento humano actúa como un boomerang y provoca destrucción.
~ Henry Miller
until the heart bursts and there is nothing left but a blinding, scorching light, the radiant light that carries off the fecundated seeds of the stars. The story of art which roots lie in massacre.
~ Henry Miller
