  1. Notes on Broken Glass, Miller.
    "If Mount Morgan shows the damage of self-deception to others,
    and The Last Yankee shows the possibility of living honestly,then Broken Glass shows: what it costs to live in fear of yourself.
    That’s why it hits so hard.
    Because Miller is no longer asking: What is true? What is right?
    He’s asking: Can you bear to see yourself—and still live?"

  2. SYLVIA, with a slight ironical edge: He wants to be here so we can have a talk, that’s what it is. Shakes her head. How stupid it all is; you keep putting everything off like you’re going to live a thousand years. But we’re like those little flies—born in the morning, fly around for a day till it gets dark—and bye-bye.

    HARRIET: Well, it takes time to learn things.

    SYLVIA: There’s nothing I know now that I didn’t know twenty years ago. I just didn’t say it.
