More quotes by Arthur Miller
It is time that we, who are without kings, took up this bright thread of our history and followed it to the only place it can possibly lead in our time-the heart and spirit of the average man.
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 PRICE grew out of a need to reconfirm the power of the past, the seedbed of current reality, and the way to possibly reaffirm cause and effect in an insane world.
Arthur Miller
Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.
Arthur Miller
You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit.
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
Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay. They say he give them but two words. More weight, he says. And died.
Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller
An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted.
Arthur Miller
If you analyse anything, you destroy it.
Arthur Miller
Without alienation, there can be no politics.
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
It was not really possible to understand oneself, let alone another human being.
Arthur Miller
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
Arthur Miller
Whether for good or evil, it is sadly inevitable that all political leadership requires the artifices of theatrical illusion. In the politics of a democracy, the shortest distance between two points is often a crooked line.
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
The car, the furniture, the wife, the children - everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is - shopping.
Arthur Miller
...an everlasting funeral marches round your heart.
Arthur Miller
A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
Arthur Miller
The world is an oyster but you don't crack it open on a mattress
