"We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets - we remember only"
- Henry Miller
About this Quote
In this quote, Henry Miller reviews the modern-day way of living, where people are consumed by their thoughts and concepts rather than being completely present worldwide around them. He recommends that we have actually become detached from the dynamic and chaotic energy of the streets, and instead, we only remember bits and fragments of our experiences. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the hectic and technology-driven society we reside in, where we are continuously bombarded with information and diversions, causing us to lose touch with the raw and unfiltered beauty of the world. Miller's words work as a reminder to decrease and really immerse ourselves in today moment.
