Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less.
Arthur Miller
... vulgarity has no nation.
Arthur Miller
The brain heals the past like an injury.
Arthur Miller
The famous are balloons far up in the sky, to be envied for their quiet freedom or shot down as enemies.
Arthur Miller
Data is a lot like humans: It is born. Matures. Gets married to other data, divorced. Gets old. One thing that it doesn't do is die. It has to be killed.
Arthur Miller
The arts can do more to sustain the peace than all the wars, the armaments, and the threats and warnings of politicians.
Arthur Miller
Poor brain! How helplessly it dissolves when willing eyes meet and the nose warms to those old jungle scents.
Arthur Miller
The mission of the theatre, after all, is to change, to raise the consciousness of people to their human possibilities.
Arthur Miller
