More quotes by Arthur Miller

I figure I've done what I could do, more or less, and now I'm going back to being a chemical all we are is a lot of talking nitrogen, you know.
Arthur Miller
Part of knowing who we are is knowing we are not someone else. And Jew is only the name we give to that stranger, the agony we cannot feel, the death we look at like a cold abstraction. Each man has his Jew it is the other.
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
How to live had started out as an analytical problem of how to place himself so as to intercept the flow of money in the society.
Arthur Miller
Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from.
Arthur Miller
A character is defined by the kinds of challenges he cannot walk away from. And by those he has walked away from that cause him remorse.
Arthur Miller
The world is always ending the exact date depends on when you came into it.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
