Henry Miller Quotes

I follow life's changes, continue with my time-outs, and remain curious about what's next.

I think change is good because it teaches you that it's nothing to be frightened of.

It doesn't approach an object with prejudice or preconception, but handles each thing dispassionately before embracing it and, if necessary, finds advantage in what opposes it. It is like fire in this regard. Whereas a feeble flame might suffocate under a pile of dry sticks, a robust fire consumes everything it touches. The more objects of any kind heaped on it, the higher it rises, the hotter it burns.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

In the end, it all comes to choices to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
