More quotes by Arthur Miller
I speak my own sins I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.
Arthur Miller
The Devil is precise the marks of his presence are definite as stone.
Arthur Miller
. . usually, the biggest problems of adapting plays into screenplays is that they stick too close to the play, and I think film is a completely different medium. I think a novel is much closer to a film.
Arthur Miller
I cannot sleep for dreaming I cannot dream but I wake and walk about the house as though I'd find you coming through some door.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
Be liked and you will never want.
Arthur Miller
I know that my works are a credit to this nation and I dare say they will endure longer than the McCarran Act.

Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
Arthur Miller
There is a kind of perverse unity forming among us, born, I think, of the discontent of all classes of people with the endless frustration of life.
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
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
The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost.
Arthur Miller
Whoever is writing in the United States is using the American Dream as an ironical pole of his story. People elsewhere tend to accept, to a far greater degree anyway, that the conditions of life are hostile to mans pretensions.
Arthur Miller
It occurs to me that with all the television people watch, most of their acquaintances are actors.
