Arthur Miller Quotes - Page 4

• Well, I spent six or seven years after high school trying to work myself up. Shipping clerk, salesman, business of one kind or another. And it's a measly manner of existence. To get on that subway on the hot mornings in summer. To devote your whole life to keeping stock, or making phone calls, or selling or buying. To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two-week vacation, when all you really desire is to be outdoors, with your shirt off. And always to have to get ahead of the next fella. And still — that's how you build a future.

• An idol tells people exactly what to believe, God presents them with choices they have to make for themselves. The difference is far from insignificant; before the idol men remain dependent children, before God they are burdened and at the same time liberated to participate in the decisions of endless creation.

• Una obra es una interpretación. No es un reportaje. Y ése es el principio de su poesía porque, para interpretar, tienes que distorsionar hacia una construcción simbólica de lo que ocurrió, y a medida que se produce esa distorsión, empiezas a dejar fuera y a sobreenfatizar y, en consecuencia, a entregar la vida como una unidad en lugar de como un caos, y cualquier intento de ese tipo, cuanto más intenso es, más poético se vuelve.

• The Greeks used to use the same stories, the same mythology, time after time, different authors. There was no premium placed upon an original story, and indeed, Shakespeare likewise. A lot of people wrote plays about great kings. They didn't expect a brand-new story. It was what that new author made of the old story. It is probably the same now. We disguise it by inventing what seem to be new stories, but they're basically the same story anyway.

• If a person measures his spiritual fulfillment in terms of cosmic visions, surpassing peace of mind, or ecstasy, then he is not likely to know much spiritual fulfillment. If, however, he measures it in terms of enjoying a sunrise, being warmed by a child's smile, or being able to help someone have a better day, then he is likely to know much spiritual fulfillment.

• Success, instead of giving freedom of choice, becomes a way of life. There's no country I've been to where people, when you come into a room and sit down with them, so often ask you, "What do you do?" And, being American, many's the time I've almost asked that question, then realized it's good for my soul not to know. For a while! Just to let the evening wear on and see what I think of this person without knowing what he does and how successful he is, or what a failure. We're ranking everybody every minute of the day.

• La caza de brujas fue una manifestación perversa del pánico que cundió entre todas las clases cuando la balanza empezó a inclinarse hacia una mayor libertad individual. La caza de brujas no fue, sin embargo, una mera represión. Fue también, y no menos importante, una oportunidad largamente esperada para que todo aquel que lo deseara expresara públicamente sus culpas y pecados, amparándose en acusaciones contra las víctimas.
