Arthur Miller
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
Arthur Miller
Theater is a very changeable art. It responds to the moment in history the way the newspaper does, and there's no predicting what to come up with next.
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

Arthur Miller
Part of knowing who we are is knowing we are not someone else. And Jew is only the name we give to that stranger, the agony we cannot feel, the death we look at like a cold abstraction. Each man has his Jew it is the other.
Arthur Miller
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
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
...an everlasting funeral marches round your heart.
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
Without alienation, there can be no politics.
Arthur Miller
They tried to escape technology, to stay away from that and still have relationships with their fellow humans. Very difficult.
Arthur Miller
Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
Arthur Miller
When irrational terror takes to itself the fiat of moral goodness somebody has to die. ... No man lives who has not got a panic button, and when it is pressed by the clean white hand of moral duty, a certain murderous train is set in motion.
Arthur Miller
