Arthur Miller
Great drama is great questions or it is nothing but technique. I could not imagine a theater worth my time that did not want to change the world.
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
I know that my works are a credit to this nation and I dare say they will endure longer than the McCarran Act.
Arthur Miller
