More quotes by Arthur Miller
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
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
But we are mostly what we are, and the turtle stretching toward delicious buds on high does not lighten his carapace by his resolve.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
The enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theatre, or the play - but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem.
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
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
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
He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.
Arthur Miller
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
The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.
Arthur Miller
A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.
Arthur Miller
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
