Quote by Henry Miller
Topographically the country is magnificent -- and terrifying. Why

Topographically the country is magnificent — and terrifying. Why terrifying? Because nowhere else in the world is the divorce between man and nature so complete. Nowhere have I encountered such a dull, monotonous fabric of life as here in America. Here boredom reaches its peak. – Henry Miller

Other quotes by Henry Miller
