Data is a lot like humans: It is born. Matures. Gets married to other data, divorced. Gets old. One thing that it doesn't do is die. It has to be killed.

More quotes by Arthur Miller
I'm the end of the line absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
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
The car, the furniture, the wife, the children - everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is - shopping.
Arthur Miller
There is unquestionably a contradiction between an efficient technological machine and the flowering of human nature, of the human personality.
Arthur Miller
A suicide kills two people, that's what it's for!
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
... vulgarity has no nation.
Arthur Miller
THE PRICE grew out of a need to reconfirm the power of the past, the seedbed of current reality, and the way to possibly reaffirm cause and effect in an insane world.
Arthur Miller
The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.
Arthur Miller
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
Arthur Miller
. . usually, the biggest problems of adapting plays into screenplays is that they stick too close to the play, and I think film is a completely different medium. I think a novel is much closer to a film.
Arthur Miller
The two greatest plays ever written were Hamlet and Oedipus Rex, and they're both about father-son relationships.
Arthur Miller
A lot of my work goes to the center of where we belong--if there is any root to life -because nowadays the family is broken up, and people don't live in the same place for very long.
Arthur Miller
The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.
Arthur Miller
... so many tremendous decisions in life are made because it is five o'clock.
Arthur Miller
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
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
It occurs to me that with all the television people watch, most of their acquaintances are actors.
Arthur Miller
Whoever is writing in the United States is using the American Dream as an ironical pole of his story. People elsewhere tend to accept, to a far greater degree anyway, that the conditions of life are hostile to mans pretensions.
Arthur Miller
A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.
Arthur Miller
