Henry Miller Quotes

To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?

Instead of asking -- ''How much damage will the work in question bring about?'' why not ask -- ''How much good? How much joy?''
