“If I were reading a book and happened to strike a wonderful passage I would close the book then and there and go for a walk. I hated the thought of coming to the end of a good book. I would tease it along, delay the inevitable as long as possible, But always, when I hit a great passage, I would stop reading immediately. Out I would go, rain, hail, snow or ice, and chew the cud.”
― Henry Miller, Plexus

“The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.”
― Henry Miller, Sexus

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”
― Simone Weil

“You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”
― Ernest Hemingway
