More quotes by Arthur Miller
The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through.
Arthur Miller
You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit.
Arthur Miller
PROCTOR, his mind wild, breathless: I say--I say--God is dead!
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
Arthur Miller
The jungle is dark but full of diamonds, Willy.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
Rise early. Write. Disappoint your sons. Read the newspaper. Go to bed early. Success.
Arthur Miller
After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive.
Arthur Miller
I know that my works are a credit to this nation and I dare say they will endure longer than the McCarran Act.
Arthur Miller
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
A character is defined by the kinds of challenges he cannot walk away from. And by those he has walked away from that cause him remorse.
Arthur Miller
The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.
Arthur Miller
By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.
Arthur Miller
Theater is a very changeable art. It responds to the moment in history the way the newspaper does, and there's no predicting what to come up with next.
Arthur Miller
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul leave me my name!
Arthur Miller
...an everlasting funeral marches round your heart.
Arthur Miller
A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
Arthur Miller
