Arthur Miller frasi celebri

“[Sul sistema hollywoodiano] C'era qualcosa di indecente, in tutto quel sistema. Così molti seguivano la corrente. Introiettavano il disprezzo con cui venivano trattati. Una cultura del disprezzo non è facile da sopportare, per niente facile. Pensa a gente come John Barrymore, che è morto alcolizzato. Ci sono molti modi di reagire al disprezzo.”

Arthur Miller

citato in Peter Bogdanovich, "Chi c'è in quel film?", 2008, p. 694

“[su Marilyn Monroe] Con l'eventuale eccezione di L'amato (Chéri, 1920) di Colette, e di qualche altra breve storia… non mi risulta che abbia letto alcunché in tutta la vita. Non ne sentiva la necessità: credeva di poter afferrare l'idea di un libro… in poche pagine… Priva di qualunque pretesa culturale, non provò mai il bisogno di preoccuparsi di cose che non la travolgessero.”

Arthur Miller

citato in Mike Evans, Marilyn, p. 289

“Credo che noi in America siamo arrivati alla fine di uno sviluppo, perché ci ripetiamo un anno dopo l'altro, benché nessuno sembri accorgersene.”

Arthur Miller

Origine: Citato in Ernst Fischer, L'arte è necessaria? (Von der Notwendigkeit der Kunst), traduzione di Fausto Codino, Editori Riuniti, Roma 1975.

“Se attualmente siamo incapaci di distinguere fra un soggetto elevato e uno vile, fra una visione ampia e una relativamente ristretta, restiamo del tutto abbandonati agli affetti toccati…”

Arthur Miller

“[su Marilyn Monroe] La inquadravano di spalle per mettere in evidenza la rotazione delle anche, un movimento così fluido da apparire comico. In realtà era la sua camminata naturale.”

Arthur Miller

citato in Mike Evans, Marilyn, p. 250

“[Su Marilyn] Risplende di bellezza, di umanità. È il genere di artista che non va in scena ogni santo giorno che viene. Dopotutto, è una creatura fuori dall'ordinario.”

Arthur Miller

citato in Mike Evans, Marilyn, p. 295

“[Su Marilyn Monroe] È la donna più donna che si possa immaginare. La maggior parte degli uomini esprime al meglio la propria mascolinità accanto a lei… è una sorta di calamita che fa emergere gli istinti primordiali dell'animale maschio.”

Arthur Miller

The New York Herald Tribune (31 March 1954)

“In an ordinary crime, how does one defend the accused? One calls up witnesses to prove his innocence. But witchcraft is ipso facto, on its face and by its nature, an invisible crime, is it not? Therefore, who may possibly be witness to it? The witch and the victim. None other. Now we cannot hope the witch will accuse herself; granted? Therefore, we must rely upon her victims — and they do testify, the children certainly do testify. As for the witches, none will deny that we are most eager for all their confessions. Therefore, what is left for a lawyer to bring out? I think I have made my point. Have I not?”

Deputy Governor Danforth
The Crucible (1953)

“I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor. Not enough to weave a banner with, but white enough to keep it from such dogs. Give them no tear! Tears pleasure them! Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it!”

The New York Times (9 Feb 1986)

“Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house — in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.”

Arthur Miller The Price

The Price (1967)

“Hale: Here is all the invisible world, caught, defined, and calculated. In these books the Devil stands stripped of all his brute disguises. Here are all your familiar spirits — your incubi and succubi; your witches that go by land, by air, and by sea; your wizards of the night and of the day. Have no fear now — we shall find him out if he has come among us, and I mean to crush him utterly if he has shown his face!
Rebecca: Will it hurt the child, sir?
Hale: I cannot tell. If she is truly in the Devil's grip we may have to rip and tear to get her free.”
