More quotes by Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
The play is really a kind of nightmare. It ought to flow rapidly and effortlessly from one moment to another. In London, we had difficulty with the set, which required too much effort to move around. Having gotten the benefit of seeing it done once, I wanted to work on the script, to make it sharper and more pointed.
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
A little man makes a mistake and they hang him by the thumbs the big ones become ambassadors.
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
Arthur Miller
I figure I've done what I could do, more or less, and now I'm going back to being a chemical all we are is a lot of talking nitrogen, you know.
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.
Arthur Miller
