More quotes by 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
The famous are balloons far up in the sky, to be envied for their quiet freedom or shot down as enemies.
Arthur Miller
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
Arthur Miller
HALE, with a tasty love of intellectual pursuit
Arthur Miller
A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.
Arthur Miller
Flight Reservation Systems decide whether or not you exist. If your information isn't in their database, then you simply don't get to go anywhere.
Arthur Miller
And yet one can't forever stand on the shore at some point, even if filled with indecision, skepticism, reservation and doubt, you either jump in or concede that life is forever elsewhere.
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
I'm the end of the line absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
