Games Life Is Pastime

More From Arthur Miller

Life to me is the greatest of all games. the danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. the rules matter a great deal. the game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. and even to win the game is not the chief end. the chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.
Motivational Integrity Lying
Our society accepts the book as a given, but the act of reading -- once considered useful and important, as well as potentially dangerous and subversive -- is now condescendingly accepted as a pastime, a slow pastime that lacks efficiency and does not contribute to the common good.
Book Reading Important
There are characters in some short stories who exist as people, and there are other characters in different short stories who exist as purely literary constructs. you know, the young man in "forbidden brides of the faceless slaves in the secret house of the night of dread desire" - i probably got that right - is a literary construct, and enjoys being a literary construct. he has no life off stage, whereas the young men in "how to talk to girls at parties" were as near to being real human beings as i could possibly get them.
Girl Real Party
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. if you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. if you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. that's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.
Inspirational Motivational Nba
A female writer does definitely get more attention if she writes about male characters. it's true. it's considered somehow more literary, in the same way that it's more literary to write about supposedly male subjects, such as war. you're considered more seriously by the literary establishment.
War Writing Character
The provincial intellectual is doomed to arguing at low level... there is still no australian literary world, not in sydney, melbourne, adelaide. it is some consolation to realise that there is no literary world in birmingham or los angeles either. i have heard there is one in montreal, but i don't believe it. the literary world is in london and new york, the only cities big enough to sustain magazines which can afford to reject copy.

Love Sweetheart Adore
The truth is, anyone who puts so much of herself and her life into art as you do must naturally fear any failure in that art as a potential threat to your life. and so you protect your art more than you protect your health or the common forms of happiness the rest of us have. and you probably have this in common with every artist you admire.

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for nonviolence.
