Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
What work you do! It's strange work for a Christian girl to hang old women!
Arthur Miller
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller

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
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
Arthur Miller
