More From Henry Miller

People love gossip because it's slightly removed from actuality. it's a very literary thing... you can hear a great story, and it turns out that it's largely not true. fiction writing is like gossip. it's not malicious gossip, but it's gossip.

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.

Time says hush: by the gong of time you live. listen and you hear time saying you were silent long before you came to life and you will again be silent long after you leave it, why not be a little silent now? hush yourself, noisy little man. time hushes all: the gong of time rang for you to come out of the hush and you were born. the gong of time will ring for you to go back to the same hush you came from. winners and losers, the weak and the strong, those who say little and try to say it well, and those who babble and prattle their lives away, time hushes all.

But i am mistaken in speaking of a christian republic; the terms are mutually exclusive. christianity preaches only servitude and dependence. its spirit is so favorable to tyranny that it always profits by such a regime. true christians are made to be slaves, and they know it and do not much mind; this short life counts for too little in their eyes.

We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. but the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.
