More quotes by Arthur Miller

Image
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
Image
. . 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
Image
The play is really a kind of nightmare. It ought to flow rapidly and effortlessly from one moment to another. In London, we had difficulty with the set, which required too much effort to move around. Having gotten the benefit of seeing it done once, I wanted to work on the script, to make it sharper and more pointed.
Arthur Miller
Image
I think the job of the artist is to remind people of what they have chosen to forget.
Arthur Miller
Image
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
Image
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.
Arthur Miller
Image
Flight Reservation Systems decide whether or not you exist. If your information isn't in their database, then you simply don't get to go anywhere.
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.
Arthur Miller
Image
Peace. It is a providence, and no great change we are only what we always were, but naked now.
Arthur Miller
Image
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
Image
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
Image
The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
Arthur Miller
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You specialize in something until one day it is specializing in you.
Arthur Miller
Image
The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.
Arthur Miller
Image
I regard the theatre as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone.
