quote connection

"i certainly do not hope to alter the world. perhaps i can put it best by saying that i hope to alter my own vision of the world. i want to be more and more myself. as ridiculous as that may sound." - henry miller

i've always loved this quote. or, at least, i've loved it since i first found it. tonight, i found more words by mr. miller.

"the aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." - henry miller

now i may not completely agree with either statement, but they are drenched in challenge, don't you think?
