More quotes by Arthur Miller
You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit.
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Arthur Miller
PROCTOR, his mind wild, breathless: I say--I say--God is dead!
Arthur Miller
In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.
Arthur Miller
The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
Arthur Miller
There are many who stay away from church these days because you hardly ever mention God any more.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
Life is an endless, truly endless struggle. There's no time when we're going to arrive at a plateau where the whole thing gets sorted. It's a struggle in the way every plant has to find it's own way to stand up straight. A lot of the time it's a failure. And yet it's not a failure if some enlightenment comes from it.
Arthur Miller
