More quotes by Arthur Miller
A friend of mine once said that there were only two truly national events in the history of the United States. One was the Civil War and the other one was the Depression.
Arthur Miller
Peace. It is a providence, and no great change we are only what we always were, but naked now.
Arthur Miller
Studies show that a trusting workplace increases employees' level of happiness, work effort, productivity, and engagement. It also provides an environment that encourages open communication and promotes people to share their ideas.
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
Everything we are is at every moment alive in us.
Arthur Miller
A little man makes a mistake and they hang him by the thumbs the big ones become ambassadors.
Arthur Miller
I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theatre, or the play - but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem.
Arthur Miller
It is time that we, who are without kings, took up this bright thread of our history and followed it to the only place it can possibly lead in our time-the heart and spirit of the average man.
Arthur Miller
Certainly the most diverse, if minor, pastime of literary life is the game of Find the Author.
Arthur Miller
The arts can do more to sustain the peace than all the wars, the armaments, and the threats and warnings of politicians.
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
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 closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.
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.
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
An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted.
Arthur Miller
The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less.
Arthur Miller
The jungle is dark but full of diamonds, Willy.
Arthur Miller
The world is always ending the exact date depends on when you came into 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.
