Arthur Miller
The brain heals the past like an injury.

The Crucible became by far my most frequently produced play, both abroad and at home. Its meaning is somewhat different in different places and moments.

Arthur Miller
It was not really possible to understand oneself, let alone another human being.
Arthur Miller
Life is an endless, truly endless struggle. There's no time when we're going to arrive at a plateau where the whole thing gets sorted. It's a struggle in the way every plant has to find it's own way to stand up straight. A lot of the time it's a failure. And yet it's not a failure if some enlightenment comes from it.
Arthur Miller
