More quotes by Arthur Miller
I think the tragic feeling is invoked in us when we are in the presence of a character who is ready to lay down his life, if need be, to secure one thing -- his sense of personal dignity.
Arthur Miller
Everything we are is at every moment alive in us.
Arthur Miller
Poor brain! How helplessly it dissolves when willing eyes meet and the nose warms to those old jungle scents.
Arthur Miller
There are many who stay away from church these days because you hardly ever mention God any more.
Arthur Miller
A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
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
There is a misconception of tragedy with which I have been struck in review after review, and in many conversations with writers and readers alike. It is the idea that tragedy is of necessity allied to pessimism.
Arthur Miller
Without alienation, there can be no politics.
Arthur Miller
Now hell and heaven grapple on our backs and all our old pretense is ripped away. Aye, and God's icy wind will blow.
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
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
A lot of my work goes to the center of where we belong--if there is any root to life -because nowadays the family is broken up, and people don't live in the same place for very long.
Arthur Miller
Immortality is like trying to carve your initials in a block of ice in the middle of July.
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
The mission of the theatre, after all, is to change, to raise the consciousness of people to their human possibilities.
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
Great drama is great questions or it is nothing but technique. I could not imagine a theater worth my time that did not want to change the world.
Arthur Miller
Studies show that a trusting workplace increases employees' level of happiness, work effort, productivity, and engagement. It also provides an environment that encourages open communication and promotes people to share their ideas.
Arthur Miller
The car, the furniture, the wife, the children - everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is - shopping.
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.
