Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or miller:

    Of coursers also spake they: Henry rid
    Well, like most Englishmen, and loved the races;
    And Juan, like a true-born Andalusian,
    Could back a horse, as despots ride a Russian.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    America is no place for an artist: to be an artist is to be a moral leper, an economic misfit, a social liability. A corn-fed hog enjoys a better life than a creative writer, painter, or musician. To be a rabbit is better still.
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
