More quotes by Arthur Miller
They tried to escape technology, to stay away from that and still have relationships with their fellow humans. Very difficult.
Arthur Miller
A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
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
I think the tragic feeling is invoked in us when we are in the presence of a character who is ready to lay down his life, if need be, to secure one thing -- his sense of personal dignity.
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
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
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
The world is always ending the exact date depends on when you came into it.
Arthur Miller
The Crucible became by far my most frequently produced play, both abroad and at home. Its meaning is somewhat different in different places and moments. I can almost tell what the political situation in a country is when the play is suddenly a hit there it is either a warning of tyranny on the way or a reminder of tyranny just past.
Arthur Miller
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
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
Everything we are is at every moment alive in us.
Arthur Miller
I cannot sleep for dreaming I cannot dream but I wake and walk about the house as though I'd find you coming through some door.
Arthur Miller
I've always made a point of not wasting my life, and every time I come back here I know that all I've done is to waste my life.
Arthur Miller
Jerusalem is ... the fabled city which for the Western mind is as much dream as stone ... a compressed symbol of our most sublime aspirations along with our most disgusting, hatefully brainless excursions into religious bigotry and fratricide.
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
The arts can do more to sustain the peace than all the wars, the armaments, and the threats and warnings of politicians.
Arthur Miller
There is unquestionably a contradiction between an efficient technological machine and the flowering of human nature, of the human personality.
Arthur Miller
The brain heals the past like an injury.
Arthur Miller
