More quotes by Arthur Miller
People do look to others for some leadership, and it's not bad for them to supply it when they feel that way.
Arthur Miller
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
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
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
The arts can do more to sustain the peace than all the wars, the armaments, and the threats and warnings of politicians.
Arthur Miller
The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost.
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
A suicide kills two people, that's what it's for!
Arthur Miller
Peace. It is a providence, and no great change we are only what we always were, but naked now.
Arthur Miller
The enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller
I'm the end of the line absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
Arthur Miller
Work a lifetime to pay off a house You finally own it and there's nobody to live in it.
Arthur Miller
The car, the furniture, the wife, the children - everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is - shopping.
Arthur Miller
Charley: He won't starve. None a them starve. Forget about him. Willy: Then what have I got to remember?
Arthur Miller
I figure I've done what I could do, more or less, and now I'm going back to being a chemical all we are is a lot of talking nitrogen, you know.
Arthur Miller
He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!
Arthur Miller
I think the tragic feeling is invoked in us when we are in the presence of a character who is ready to lay down his life, if need be, to secure one thing -- his sense of personal dignity.
Arthur Miller
The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.
Arthur Miller
THE PRICE grew out of a need to reconfirm the power of the past, the seedbed of current reality, and the way to possibly reaffirm cause and effect in an insane world.
Arthur Miller
