Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.

~ Henry Miller

Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them.

~ Hugh Miller

When you are convinced that all the exits are blocked, either you take to believing in miracles or you stand still like the hummingbird. The miracle is that the honey is always there, right under your nose, only you were too busy searching elsewhere to realize it. The worst is not death but being blind, blind to the fact that everything about life is in the nature of the miraculous. 

~ Henry Miller
