More quotes by Arthur Miller
A suicide kills two people, that's what it's for!
Arthur Miller
The Crucible became by far my most frequently produced play, both abroad and at home. Its meaning is somewhat different in different places and moments. I can almost tell what the political situation in a country is when the play is suddenly a hit there it is either a warning of tyranny on the way or a reminder of tyranny just past.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
You specialize in something until one day it is specializing in you.
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
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
Poor brain! How helplessly it dissolves when willing eyes meet and the nose warms to those old jungle scents.
Arthur Miller
Immortality is like trying to carve your initials in a block of ice in the middle of July.
Arthur Miller
Man must shape his tools lest they shape him.
Arthur Miller
The enemy is within, and within stays within, and we can't get out of within.
Arthur Miller
