Henry Miller Work Quotes

What did Henry Miller say about Work?

Henry Miller has written many quotes about Work. E.g.,

• The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
• No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe.
• Instead of asking 'How much damage will the work in question bring about?' why not ask 'How much good? How much joy?'
