And I looked at the pen and said to myself, what the hell am I grabbing this for? Why am I trying to become what I don't want to be? What am I doing in an office, making a contemptuous, begging fool of myself, when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am! Why can't I say that, Willy? Arthur Miller

The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism. Arthur Miller
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name! Arthur Miller
What is the most innocent place in any country? Is it not the insane asylum? These people drift through life truly innocent, unable to see into themselves at all. Arthur Miller

I realized what a ridiculous lie my whole life has been. Arthur Miller
Arthur Miller quote: "If you believe that life is worth living then your belief will..."
If you believe that life is worth living then your belief will create the fact. Arthur Miller
Arthur Miller quote: "Certainly the most diverse, if minor, pastime of literary life..."
Certainly the most diverse, if minor, pastime of literary life is the game of Find the Author. Arthur Miller
