The world is always ending the exact date depends on when you came into it.
Arthur Miller

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

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.

If you analyse anything, you destroy it.

I regard the theatre as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone.
Arthur Miller
Image
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?
Arthur Miller

Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
Arthur Miller
Image
By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.

The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.
Arthur Miller
Image
The famous are balloons far up in the sky, to be envied for their quiet freedom or shot down as enemies.
Arthur Miller
Image
He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!
Arthur Miller

Willie was a salesman. And for a salesman, there is no rock bottom to life?. He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back - that's an earthquake.

Image
Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
Arthur Miller
Image
Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay. They say he give them but two words. More weight, he says. And died.
Arthur Miller
Image
The mission of the theatre, after all, is to change, to raise the consciousness of people to their human possibilities.
Arthur Miller

How to live had started out as an analytical problem of how to place himself so as to intercept the flow of money in the society.
