More From Henry Miller

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
There are those of us who are always about to live. we are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. it always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
Tired Waiting Events
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

If you lose money you lose much, if you lose friends you lose more, if you lose faith you lose all.

Why are we so full of restraint? why do we not give in all directions? is it fear of losing ourselves? until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.

The savior taught his disciples, 'for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (luke 9:24)."i believe the savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.

As a culture, we believe that if we kill something, we've killed the issue. that's why so many books end with death, why so many plays end with death, because it's full resolution. i'm always curious to know what happens after romeo and juliet die. in a way, that's the beginning of the story. maybe beyond the story is even better.

You always think that 70 is the end of the road: 'somebody died when they were 73; good life'. you're closer to death, and you better make sure you don't waste too much of your time doing things you don't want to do. no point in saying things you don't believe in.
