Arthur Miller

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
Nevertheless, one learned very early that books had to be respected they were all putative Bibles and to some small degree had a share in holiness.
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
A character is defined by the kinds of challenges he cannot walk away from. And by those he has walked away from that cause him remorse.
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
