An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
The Devil is precise the marks of his presence are definite as stone.
Arthur Miller
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
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
The enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller
The famous are balloons far up in the sky, to be envied for their quiet freedom or shot down as enemies.
Arthur Miller
Without alienation, there can be no politics.
Arthur Miller
I think the job of the artist is to remind people of what they have chosen to forget.
Arthur Miller
The world is always ending the exact date depends on when you came into it.
Arthur Miller
I've always made a point of not wasting my life, and every time I come back here I know that all I've done is to waste my life.
Arthur Miller
There are many who stay away from church these days because you hardly ever mention God any more.
Arthur Miller
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 apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less.
Arthur Miller
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
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
... so many tremendous decisions in life are made because it is five o'clock.
Arthur Miller
It was not really possible to understand oneself, let alone another human being.
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
They tried to escape technology, to stay away from that and still have relationships with their fellow humans. Very difficult.
Arthur Miller
