Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil. – Henry Miller
Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur. – Henry Miller

Sin, guilt, neurosis they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge. – Henry Miller
Folks dont like to have somebody around knowing more than they do. It aggravates em. Youre not gonna change any of them by talking right, theyve got to want to learn themselves, and when they dont want to learn theres nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language. – Harper Lee
