More quotes by 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.

Life is an endless, truly endless struggle. There's no time when we're going to arrive at a plateau where the whole thing gets sorted. It's a struggle in the way every plant has to find it's own way to stand up straight. A lot of the time it's a failure. And yet it's not a failure if some enlightenment comes from it.
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
I know that my works are a credit to this nation and I dare say they will endure longer than the McCarran Act.
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.

When the guns roar, the arts die.

The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out.
Arthur Miller
Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
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
A suicide kills two people, that's what it's for!
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
Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from.
Arthur Miller
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
Arthur Miller
