More quotes by Arthur Miller
Be liked and you will never want.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it.
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
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
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
Man must shape his tools lest they shape him.
Arthur Miller
And yet one can't forever stand on the shore at some point, even if filled with indecision, skepticism, reservation and doubt, you either jump in or concede that life is forever elsewhere.
Arthur Miller
The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through.
Arthur Miller
A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
Arthur Miller
It is my art. I am better at it than I ever was. And I will do it as long as I can. When you reach a certain age you can slough off what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is. And why not?
Arthur Miller
The Devil is precise the marks of his presence are definite as stone.
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 world is an oyster but you don't crack it open on a mattress
Arthur Miller
I know that my works are a credit to this nation and I dare say they will endure longer than the McCarran Act.
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
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
Now hell and heaven grapple on our backs and all our old pretense is ripped away. Aye, and God's icy wind will blow.
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
Immortality is like trying to carve your initials in a block of ice in the middle of July.
Arthur Miller
