Henry Miller
“The world is a cancer eating itself away... I am think that when the great silence descends upon all and everywhere music will at last triumph. When into the womb of time everything is again withdrawn chaos will be restored and chaos is the score upon which reality is written.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Henry Miller
“I had no more need of God than He had of me, and if there were one, I often said to myself, I would meet Him calmly and spit in His face.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

R.D. Laing
“The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.”
R.D. Laing, The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise

Henry Miller
“For a hundred years or more the world, our world, has been dying. And not one man, in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer
