Henry Miller Quotes About Culture

Quotes about: Culture

In short, they are suffering from the silent shameful conspiracy (the more shameful since it is unacknowledged) which has bound them together as enemies of art and artists.

  Henry Miller

  Art, Men, Enemy

  Henry Miller (1957). “Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch”, p.57, New Directions Publishing

  Henry Miller

  Lying, Men, Abortion

  Henry Miller

  Believe, Civilization, Mind
