More quotes by Arthur Miller
One had the right to write because other people needed news of the inner world, and if they went too long without such news they would go mad with the chaos of their lives.
Arthur Miller
When the guns roar, the arts die.
Arthur Miller
When today fails to offer the justification for hope, tomorrow becomes the only grail worth pursuing.
Arthur Miller
Theater is a very changeable art. It responds to the moment in history the way the newspaper does, and there's no predicting what to come up with next.
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
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
There is unquestionably a contradiction between an efficient technological machine and the flowering of human nature, of the human personality.
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
A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
Arthur Miller
A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.
Arthur Miller
I think the job of the artist is to remind people of what they have chosen to forget.
Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
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
The wedding of Christianity or Judaism with nationalism is lethal.
Arthur Miller
The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Arthur Miller
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.
Arthur Miller
. . usually, the biggest problems of adapting plays into screenplays is that they stick too close to the play, and I think film is a completely different medium. I think a novel is much closer to a film.
