Henry Miller Quotes
He Was A Curious Mixture Of Things To Me On That First Occasion: He Had The General Physique Of A Bull, The Tenacity Of A Vulture, The Agility Of A Leopard, The Tenderness Of A Lamb, And The Coyness Of A Dove. He Had A Curious Overgrown Head Which Fasdnated Me And Which, For Some Reason, I Took To Be Singularly Athenian. His Hands Were Rather Small For His Body, And Overly Delicate. He Was A Vital, Powerful Man, Capable Of Brutal Gestures And Rough Words, Yet Somehow Conveying A Sense Of Warmth Which Was Soft And Feminine. There Was Also A Great Element Of The Tragic In Him Which His Adroit Mimicry Only Enhanced. He Was Extremely Sympathetic And At The Same Time Ruthless As A Boor. He Seemed To Be Talking About Himself All The Time, But Never Egotistically. He Talked About Himself Because He Himself Was The Most Interesting Person He Knew. I Liked That Quality Very Much - I Have A Little Of It Myself.
