More quotes by Arthur Miller
There is unquestionably a contradiction between an efficient technological machine and the flowering of human nature, of the human personality.
Arthur Miller
Certainly the most diverse, if minor, pastime of literary life is the game of Find the Author.
Arthur Miller
When today fails to offer the justification for hope, tomorrow becomes the only grail worth pursuing.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
The play is really a kind of nightmare. It ought to flow rapidly and effortlessly from one moment to another. In London, we had difficulty with the set, which required too much effort to move around. Having gotten the benefit of seeing it done once, I wanted to work on the script, to make it sharper and more pointed.
Arthur Miller
I came out of a culture in which my uncle, my father - they were all salesmen of one kind or another. My father was a manufacturer. He also, in effect, had to sell that stuff. And if he didn't literally do it, his men did. So, selling was in the air through my boyhood. The whole idea of successfully selling was very important.
Arthur Miller
The brain heals the past like an injury.
Arthur Miller
By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.
Arthur Miller
The enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller
Peace. It is a providence, and no great change we are only what we always were, but naked now.
Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
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
