Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Arthur Miller
Image
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
Image
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
Arthur Miller
Image
The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost.
Arthur Miller
Image
You specialize in something until one day it is specializing in you.
Arthur Miller
Image
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
Image
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.

Willie was a salesman. And for a salesman, there is no rock bottom to life?. He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back - that's an earthquake.

Image
The Devil is precise the marks of his presence are definite as stone.
Arthur Miller
Image
The jungle is dark but full of diamonds, Willy.
Arthur Miller
Image
We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!
Arthur Miller
Image
The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.
Arthur Miller
Image
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
Image
For the political world, I have come to believe, is fundamentally beyond anyone's control, yet we all go on as though it were a kind of vehicle that only needs a change of drivers in order to steer it away from its frequent hair-raising visits to the edge of the cliff.
Arthur Miller
Image
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
Arthur Miller
Image
It is my art. I am better at it than I ever was. And I will do it as long as I can. When you reach a certain age you can slough off what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is. And why not?

The world is an oyster but you don't crack it open on a mattress
