More quotes by Arthur Miller
Rise early. Write. Disappoint your sons. Read the newspaper. Go to bed early. Success.
Arthur Miller
In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.
Arthur Miller
Peace. It is a providence, and no great change we are only what we always were, but naked now.
Arthur Miller
A suicide kills two people, that's what it's for!
Arthur Miller
It is my art. I am better at it than I ever was. And I will do it as long as I can. When you reach a certain age you can slough off what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is. And why not?
Arthur Miller
Theater is a very changeable art. It responds to the moment in history the way the newspaper does, and there's no predicting what to come up with next.
Arthur Miller
The wedding of Christianity or Judaism with nationalism is lethal.
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
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul leave me my name!
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
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
The brain heals the past like an injury.
Arthur Miller
Charley: He won't starve. None a them starve. Forget about him. Willy: Then what have I got to remember?
Arthur Miller
... vulgarity has no nation.
Arthur Miller
Whether for good or evil, it is sadly inevitable that all political leadership requires the artifices of theatrical illusion. In the politics of a democracy, the shortest distance between two points is often a crooked line.
Arthur Miller
The enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller
Certainly the most diverse, if minor, pastime of literary life is the game of Find the Author.
Arthur Miller
I regard the theatre as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone.
Arthur Miller
Can anyone remember love? It's like trying to summon up the smell of roses in a cellar. You might see a rose, but never the perfume.
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
