Arthur Miller

A child's spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back. 

A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself. 

A playwright lives in an occupied country. And if you can't live that way you don't stay. 

A suicide kills two people, Maggie, that's what it's for!

All we are is a lot of talking nitrogen.

Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

Can anyone remember love? It's like trying to summon up the smell of roses in a cellar. You might see a rose, but never the perfume. 

Certainly the most diverse, if minor, pastime of literary life is the game of Find the Author. 

Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value. 

Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.

He wants to live on through something-and in his case, his masterpiece is his son. all of us want that, and it gets more poignant as we get more anonymous in this world.

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.
