Like every man, I am my own worst enemy. Unlike most men, however, I also know that I am my own saviour. I know that freedom means reponsibility [a typo herein the text]. I know too how easily desire may be converted to deed. Even when I close my eyes I must be careful how I dream and of what, for now only the thinnest veil separates dream from reality.
How large or small a part sex plays in one's life seems relatively unimportant. Some of the greatest achievements we know of have been accomplished by individuals who had little or no sex life. On the other hand, we know from the lives of certain artists - men of the first rank - that their imposing works would never have been produced had they not been immersed in sex.
From The World of Sex by Henry Miller 1965
