More quotes by Arthur Miller
A play is made by sensing how the forces in life simulate ignorance-you set free the concealed irony, the deadly joke.
Arthur Miller
I think the job of the artist is to remind people of what they have chosen to forget.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
It was not really possible to understand oneself, let alone another human being.
Arthur Miller
If I have any justification for having lived it's simply, I'm nothing but faults, failures and so on, but I have tried to make a good pair of shoes. There's some value in that.
Arthur Miller

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
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

Arthur Miller
That is a very good question. I don't know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?
Arthur Miller
... so many tremendous decisions in life are made because it is five o'clock.
Arthur Miller
Work a lifetime to pay off a house You finally own it and there's nobody to live in it.
Arthur Miller
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
... vulgarity has no nation.
Arthur Miller
The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.
Arthur Miller
When today fails to offer the justification for hope, tomorrow becomes the only grail worth pursuing.
Arthur Miller
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?
