Arthur Miller
Part of knowing who we are is knowing we are not someone else. And Jew is only the name we give to that stranger, the agony we cannot feel, the death we look at like a cold abstraction. Each man has his Jew it is the other.
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
Arthur Miller
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
