More quotes by Arthur Miller
The brain heals the past like an injury.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
That is a very good question. I don't know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?
Arthur Miller
Everything we are is at every moment alive in us.
Arthur Miller
Like every writer, I am asked where my work originates, and if I knew I would go there more often to find more.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive.
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

Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
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
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
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
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
The two greatest plays ever written were Hamlet and Oedipus Rex, and they're both about father-son relationships.
Arthur Miller
Nevertheless, one learned very early that books had to be respected they were all putative Bibles and to some small degree had a share in holiness.
Arthur Miller
The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.
Arthur Miller
... vulgarity has no nation.
Arthur Miller
For the political world, I have come to believe, is fundamentally beyond anyone's control, yet we all go on as though it were a kind of vehicle that only needs a change of drivers in order to steer it away from its frequent hair-raising visits to the edge of the cliff.
Arthur Miller
