Arthur Miller
One had the right to write because other people needed news of the inner world, and if they went too long without such news they would go mad with the chaos of their lives.
Arthur Miller
The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.
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
PROCTOR, his mind wild, breathless: I say--I say--God is dead!
Arthur Miller
The car, the furniture, the wife, the children - everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is - shopping.
Arthur Miller
