About this Quote

This quote by Henry Miller speaks to the idea that an individual can be held captive by their own actions. It recommends that an individual can be a detainee of their own guilt and regret, even if they have actually not been founded guilty of a crime. It indicates that an individual can be kept back by their own mistakes, and that they can become trapped in a cycle of reliving their wrongdoings. This quote motivates us to take responsibility for our actions and to proceed from our mistakes, instead of clinging to them and permitting them to specify us. It is a reminder that we can pick to break free from our own prisons and to create a better future for ourselves.
