Spring, Punishment, Study

Henry Miller (1970). “The Air-Conditioned Nightmare”, p.87, New Directions Publishing

Things happen or they don't happen, that's all. Nothing is accomplished by sweat and struggle. Nearly everything which we call life is just insomnia, an agony because we've lost the habit of falling asleep. We don't know how to let go. We're like a Jack-in-the-box perched on top of a spring and the more we struggle the harder it is to get back in the box.

Henry Miller

Letting Go, Spring, Struggle
