Stand Still Like the Hummingbird

Quote # 62: “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird” by Henry Miller

June 3, 2016 / jpbohannon / 2 Comments

“Hummingbird” illustration 2016 by jpbohannon

“I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous man, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the man in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.”

Henry Miller, Stand Still Like the Hummingbird
(via honeyforthehomeless)
