More quotes by Arthur Miller
The two greatest plays ever written were Hamlet and Oedipus Rex, and they're both about father-son relationships.
Arthur Miller
There is unquestionably a contradiction between an efficient technological machine and the flowering of human nature, of the human personality.
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
The brain heals the past like an injury.
Arthur Miller
. . usually, the biggest problems of adapting plays into screenplays is that they stick too close to the play, and I think film is a completely different medium. I think a novel is much closer to a film.
Arthur Miller
Without alienation, there can be no politics.
Arthur Miller
There are many who stay away from church these days because you hardly ever mention God any more.
Arthur Miller
The arts can do more to sustain the peace than all the wars, the armaments, and the threats and warnings of politicians.
Arthur Miller
The world is an oyster but you don't crack it open on a mattress
Arthur Miller
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
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
There is a kind of perverse unity forming among us, born, I think, of the discontent of all classes of people with the endless frustration of life.
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
A play is made by sensing how the forces in life simulate ignorance-you set free the concealed irony, the deadly joke.
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 PRICE grew out of a need to reconfirm the power of the past, the seedbed of current reality, and the way to possibly reaffirm cause and effect in an insane world.
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 best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.
Arthur Miller
I'm the end of the line absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
Arthur Miller
You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit.
Arthur Miller
