More quotes by 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
He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.
Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
Arthur Miller
By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
There are many who stay away from church these days because you hardly ever mention God any more.
Arthur Miller
Poor brain! How helplessly it dissolves when willing eyes meet and the nose warms to those old jungle scents.
Arthur Miller
Rise early. Write. Disappoint your sons. Read the newspaper. Go to bed early. Success.
Arthur Miller
Charley: He won't starve. None a them starve. Forget about him. Willy: Then what have I got to remember?
Arthur Miller
Work a lifetime to pay off a house You finally own it and there's nobody to live in it.
Arthur Miller
The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.
Arthur Miller
I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theatre, or the play - but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
The camera has its own kind of consciousness in the lens the Garden of Eden itself would become ever so slightly too perfect.
Arthur Miller
