And for that one moment of freedom you have to listen to all that love crap... it drive me nuts sometimes... I want to kick them out immediately... I do now and then. But that doesn't keep them away. They like it, in fact. The less you notice them the more they chase after you. There's something perverse about women... they're all masochists at heart.

Henry Valentine Miller (December 26 1891 – June 7 1980) was an American writer and painter. He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of "novel" that is a mixture of novel autobiography social criticism philosophical reflection surrealist free association and mysticism one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also fictional.
