En "The Marginalian" se presentan varios extractos del libro "Cumpliendo 80" del escritor norteamericano Henry Miller, todos ellos llenos de energía, sentido del humor y naturalidad.
En ellos demuestra su gran admiración y respeto por otros dos creadores que por aquel entonces ya habían cumplido 90 años y seguían siendo jóvenes de corazón y trabajaban a diario en sus respectivos ámbitos : el compositor y director Pablo Casals y el pintor Pablo Picasso.

My motto has always been: “Always merry and bright.” Perhaps that is why I never tire of quoting Rabelais: “For all your ills I give you laughter.” As I look back on my life, which has been full of tragic moments, I see it more as a comedy than a tragedy. One of those comedies in which while laughing your guts out you feel your inner heart breaking. What better comedy could there be? The man who takes himself seriously is doomed…
There is nothing wrong with life itself. It is the ocean in which we swim and we either adapt to it or sink to the bottom. But it is in our power as human beings not to pollute the waters of life, not to destroy the spirit which animates us.
The most difficult thing for a creative individual is to refrain from the effort to make the world to his liking and to accept his fellow man for what he is, whether good, bad or indifferent.
