More quotes by Arthur Miller
The mission of the theatre, after all, is to change, to raise the consciousness of people to their human possibilities.
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 enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller
Whether for good or evil, it is sadly inevitable that all political leadership requires the artifices of theatrical illusion. In the politics of a democracy, the shortest distance between two points is often a crooked line.
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
The jungle is dark but full of diamonds, Willy.
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.
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
Every time I am reading actors I can pretty well tell which ones have studied with Meisner. It is because they are honest and simple and don't lay on complications that aren't necessary.
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
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
He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
Arthur Miller
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul leave me my name!
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
Immortality is like trying to carve your initials in a block of ice in the middle of July.
Arthur Miller
There is a kind of perverse unity forming among us, born, I think, of the discontent of all classes of people with the endless frustration of life.
Arthur Miller
Now hell and heaven grapple on our backs and all our old pretense is ripped away. Aye, and God's icy wind will blow.
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Arthur Miller
