Arthur Miller
After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive.
Arthur Miller
The mission of the theatre, after all, is to change, to raise the consciousness of people to their human possibilities.
Arthur Miller
The wedding of Christianity or Judaism with nationalism is lethal.
Arthur Miller
I think the job of the artist is to remind people of what they have chosen to forget.
Arthur Miller
