The World Of Sex Quotes

“We clutter the earth with our inventions, never dreaming that possibly they are unnecessary — or disadvantageous. We devise astounding means of communication, but do we communicate with one another? We move our bodies to and fro and incredible speeds, but do we really leave the spot we started from? Mentally, morally, spiritually, we are fettered. What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? 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?”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex

“Over and over again I have said that there is no way out of the present impasse. If we were wide awake we would be instantly struck by the horrors which surround us ... We would drop our tools, quit our jobs, deny our obligations, pay no taxes, observe no laws, and so on. Could the man or woman who is thoroughly awakened possibly do the crazy things which are now expected of him or her every moment of the day?”

“ja znam da sloboda znači odgovornost.isto tako znam kako se lako želja može pretvoriti u čin. čak i kad sklopim oči, moram paziti kako sanjam i o čemu, jer samo najtanji veo deli tada san od jave.”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex

“No matter how attached I became to a 'cunt', I was always more interested in the person who owned it. A cunt doesn't live a separate, independent existence. Nothing does. Everything is interrelated.”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex

“Le seul chemin qui mène à la délivrance passe par la découverte et la reconnaissance du caractère unique de son identité.”

“Niçin böylesine sınırlıyoruz kendimizi? Niçin her şeye açık değiliz? Kendimizi kaybetmekten mi korkuyoruz yoksa? Kendimizi kaybedene dek kendimizi bulma umudumuz olamaz.”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex

“La plupart des mariages sont bâtis sur une tombe : celle de l'amour. La plupart des couples mariés ne sont que défunts amants légalement appariés. On le sent vivement, le dimanche après-midi, en les regardant déambuler sur les boulevards. On dirait des automates, attelés deux par deux à d'invisibles jougs. Parfois, la progéniture traîne derrière - satellites mystérieux enchaînés de droit à leurs auteurs inanimés.”
― Henry Miller, Le Monde du sexe

“Je le saluerais d'un cri de victoire, s'il [l'homme nouveau] pouvait prouver que l'existence, sur ce vaste continent, peut se passer des articles de première nécessité ci-dessus mentionnés [laboratoires, usines chimiques, aciéries, avions, munitions, tracteurs et aliments pasteurisés]. Oui, ce serait un type très suprême d'homme s'il apportait la démonstration que l'existence, tant ici qu'ailleurs, peut se passer de travail forcé, d'instruments de torture, d'outils de mort, d'argent, de dernière mode, de prophylaxie, de gouvernement et la suite.”
― Henry Miller, Le Monde du sexe

“A-t-on jamais vu chose inouïe comme un peuple libéré de la superstition, du rituel, de la religion, de l'argent, de la peur et du remords ?”

“Si nous étions lucides, instantanément l'horreur de ce qui nous entoure nous laisserait stupides. On ne saurait être parfaitement lucide et déambuler dans les rues de nos cités modernes sans en être affecté de façon ou d'autre. Ce qui ne signifie pas que nous devrions avoir envie de les reconstruire, nos cités, de les faire un peu moins laides - mais de les planter là, de filer pour ne plus revenir, oui. De tout flanquer en l'air, de plaquer le boulot, d'envoyer paître les obligations, le percepteur, les lois et tout ce qui s'ensuit. Un être humain parfaitement éveillé, croyez-vous qu'il se conduirait en cinglé, comme c'est le cas, comme on le lui demande, à chaque instant de la journée ?”
― Henry Miller, Le Monde du sexe

“The crucial and truly pivotal events which mark our way are the fruits of silence and of solitude.”
― Henry Miller, The World of Sex

“I know too how easily desire may be converted to deed. Even when I close my eyes I must be careful how I dream and of what, for now only the thinnest veil separates dream from reality.”
― Henry Miller, The World of Sex

“In the course of disintegration, a process which may go on for centuries, life loses all significance.”

“İster kabul edilsin, ister edilmesin, sanatçının kafası sürekli olarak dünyayı yeniden yaratma, insanın saflığını yeniden yaratma düşüncesiyle meşguldür. Bunun ötesinde, insanın saflığını yalnızca özgürlüğünü kazanarak yeniden elde edebileceğini bilir. Özgürlüğün buradaki anlamı otomasyonun ölümüdür.”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex

“Moralistlerin tutkusu olan, varlığın “iğrenç” davranışlarını ortadan kaldırma çabası yalnızca saçma değil, aynı zamanda boşunadır da. Bir insan, çirkin, “günah” düşünce ve isteklerini, içgüdü ve itkilerini bastırmayı başarabilir, ama bunun sonuçları yıkıma yol açabilir. Ermiş olmakla katil olmak arasındaki sınır, kıl kadar incedir.”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex

“Să fii îndrăgostit.Să fii total singur..
Așa începe...cea mai ducle și cea mai amară tristețe pe care o poate încerca cineva.”
― Henry Miller, The World Of Sex
