Arthur Miller's quotes

  • The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost.
  • A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.
  • Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
  • It can take a long time to accept that celebrity is a kind of loneliness.
  • The task of the real intellectual consists of analyzing illusions in order to discover their causes.
  • Once when my father was about eighty he asked me, 'Do I look like you or do you look like me?' This was serious. 'I guess I look like you,' I said. He seemed to like that answer.
  • My father loved to stand in front of a theater where a play of mine was on and every now and then stroll in to chat with the box office men about business.
  • [on Marilyn Monroe] If she was simple, it would have been easy to help her. She could have made it with a little luck.
  • [on working in radio with Orson Welles] I was amazed at Welles's genius with the microphone; he seemed to climb into it, his word-carving voice winding into one's brain. No actor had such intimacy and sheer presence in a loudspeaker.
  • [on William Saroyan] ...the first to let it all hang out, the first to cast aside social and psychological considerations and to write like a child in wonderland...
