More quotes by Arthur Miller
Everything we are is at every moment alive in us.
Arthur Miller
Man must shape his tools lest they shape him.
Arthur Miller
The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.
Arthur Miller
Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from.
Arthur Miller
I cannot sleep for dreaming I cannot dream but I wake and walk about the house as though I'd find you coming through some door.
Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
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
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
The two greatest plays ever written were Hamlet and Oedipus Rex, and they're both about father-son relationships.
Arthur Miller
. . usually, the biggest problems of adapting plays into screenplays is that they stick too close to the play, and I think film is a completely different medium. I think a novel is much closer to a film.
Arthur Miller
If I have any justification for having lived it's simply, I'm nothing but faults, failures and so on, but I have tried to make a good pair of shoes. There's some value in that.
Arthur Miller
I regard the theatre as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone.
Arthur Miller
But we are mostly what we are, and the turtle stretching toward delicious buds on high does not lighten his carapace by his resolve.
Arthur Miller
The jungle is dark but full of diamonds, Willy.
Arthur Miller
He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!
Arthur Miller
Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
Arthur Miller
I came out of a culture in which my uncle, my father - they were all salesmen of one kind or another. My father was a manufacturer. He also, in effect, had to sell that stuff. And if he didn't literally do it, his men did. So, selling was in the air through my boyhood. The whole idea of successfully selling was very important.
Arthur Miller
It was not really possible to understand oneself, let alone another human being.
Arthur Miller
There is a misconception of tragedy with which I have been struck in review after review, and in many conversations with writers and readers alike. It is the idea that tragedy is of necessity allied to pessimism.
Arthur Miller
