Henry Miller Quotes
One Never Thinks Of China, But It Is There All The Time On The Tips Of Your Fingers And It Makes Your Nose Itchy; And Long Afterward, When You Have Forgotten Almost What A Firecracker Smells Like, You Wake Up One Day With Gold Leaf Choking You And The Broken Pieces Of Punk Waft Back Their Pungent Odor And The Bright Red Wrappers Give You A Nostalgia For A People And A Soil You Have Never Known, But Which Is In Your Blood, Mysteriously There In Your Blood, Like The Sense Of Time Or Space, A Fugitive, Constant Value To Which You Turn More And More As You Get Old, Which You Try To Seize With Your Mind, But Ineffectually, Because In Everything Chinese There Is Wisdom And Mystery And You Can Never Grasp It With Two Hands Or With Your Mind But You Must Let It Rub Off, Let It Stick To Your Fingers, Let It Slowly Infiltrate Your Veins.
