More quotes by Arthur Miller
The camera has its own kind of consciousness in the lens the Garden of Eden itself would become ever so slightly too perfect.
Arthur Miller
Every time I am reading actors I can pretty well tell which ones have studied with Meisner. It is because they are honest and simple and don't lay on complications that aren't necessary.
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
Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay. They say he give them but two words. More weight, he says. And died.
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 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
The Crucible became by far my most frequently produced play, both abroad and at home. Its meaning is somewhat different in different places and moments. I can almost tell what the political situation in a country is when the play is suddenly a hit there it is either a warning of tyranny on the way or a reminder of tyranny just past.
Arthur Miller
Whether for good or evil, it is sadly inevitable that all political leadership requires the artifices of theatrical illusion. In the politics of a democracy, the shortest distance between two points is often a crooked line.
Arthur Miller
The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.
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
What work you do! It's strange work for a Christian girl to hang old women!
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Arthur Miller
We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!
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
The jungle is dark but full of diamonds, Willy.
Arthur Miller
Willie was a salesman. And for a salesman, there is no rock bottom to life?. He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back - that's an earthquake.
Arthur Miller
A little man makes a mistake and they hang him by the thumbs the big ones become ambassadors.
Arthur Miller
That is a very good question. I don't know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?
Arthur Miller
The world is always ending the exact date depends on when you came into it.
Arthur Miller
The two greatest plays ever written were Hamlet and Oedipus Rex, and they're both about father-son relationships.
