More From Arthur Miller

Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment - a question which man puts to nature, trying to force her to answer. the question is this: what change will death produce in a man's existence and in his insight into the nature of things? it is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.
Suicide Nature Suicidal
I asked for strength, and god gave me difficulties to make me strong. i asked for wisdom, and god gave me problems to learn to solve. i asked for prosperity, and god gave me a brain and brawn to work. i asked for courage, and god gave me dangers to overcome. i asked for love, and god gave me people to help. i asked for favors, and god gave me opportunities. i received nothing i wanted. i received everything i needed.
Strong Opportunity People
A dialogue is very important. it is a form of communication in which question and answer continue till a question is left without an answer. thus the question is suspended between the two persons involved in this answer and question. it is like a bud with untouched blossoms . . . if the question is left totally untouched by thought, it then has its own answer because the questioner and answerer, as persons, have disappeared. this is a form of dialogue in which investigation reaches a certain point of intensity and depth, which then has a quality that thought can never reach.
Communication Two Important
I asked [guadalupe] for the world, for peace, so many things. i asked forgiveness, i asked that the church grows healthy, i asked for the mexican people. and another thing i asked a lot for: that priests be true priests, and sisters true sisters, and bishops true bishops. as the lord wants.
People Mexican Healthy
I'm still in the middle of the transition. i'm still in man-boy mode. and that won't go away for a while. but it's a fun time to be in, because it's very rare that people get to work through this time. it's rare to see a john cusack in say anything. it's rare that you'd find an actor right in the cusp of the child-to adult transition, just got through puberty, just getting into a different way of life. there's few movies like that, and few roles like that, so it's going to be tough to pick and choose. i guess the goal is good people, work with good people.

Why are there beings at all instead of nothing? that is the question. presumably it is not arbitrary question, "why are there beings at all instead of nothing"- this is obviously the first of all questions. of course it is not the first question in the chronological sense [...] and yet, we are each touched once, maybe even every now and then, by the concealed power of this question, without properly grasping what is happening to us. in great despair, for example, when all weight tends to dwindle away from things and the sense of things grows dark, the question looms.

Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because i am an optimist at heart.

What in me is dark illumine, what is low raise and support, that to the height of this great argument i may assert eternal providence, and justify the ways of god to men. 1 paradise lost. book i. line 22.

When the dark lord takes over, is he going to care how many o.w.l.s or n.e.w.t.s anyone’s got? of course he isn’t. . . . it’ll be all about the kind of service he received, the level of devotion he was shown.
