  6. “HENRI: And so the poem continues, written in someone’s blood, and my country sinks one more inch into the grass, into the jungle, into the everlasting sea.”

    Excerpt From

  7. “HENRI: Have you any interest in history? Or philosophy? Where did you go to school?

    SKIP: Princeton. But my interest was business, frankly. No philosophy, no culture, mainly the market.

    HENRI: Oh, but poetry and the stock market have a lot in common, you know.

    SKIP: Poetry and the market!

    HENRI: Oh yes. They are both based on rules that the successful never obey. ”

  8. “HENRI, *takes a step toward doorway and halts*: You know, when I saw him outside my window a very odd thought . . . exploded in my head—that I hadn’t actually been seeing anything . . . for most of my life. That I have lived half blind . . . to Jeanine, even to my former wife . . . I can’t begin to explain it, Felix, but it’s all left me with one idea that I can’t shake off—it haunts me.

    FELIX: What idea?

    HENRI: That I could have loved. *Slight pause.* In my life.

  9. "... And everything I saw seemed superbly precious and for a split second I think I believed in god. Or at least his eye, or an eye seeing everything so exactly."

  10. Notes Arthur Miller
    "Miller’s late world asks: what if the structure is no longer guaranteed—and we must make do with fragments?"

  11. “PETERS: You may have read the Babylonian myth explaining why there are so many different languages in the world?

    LEONARD: No.

    PETERS: God was extremely annoyed by the racket in the streets, so he invented all the different languages to keep people from talking to each other so much.

    LEONARD: That’s pretty funny.”

  12. “PETERS: [..] Remember banana splits; four balls of ice cream on a sliced banana, covered with hand-whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a maraschino cherry on top . . . for twenty-five cents? That, my friend, was a country, huh? I mean that was a country! —And who ever had a key to their front door?

    CALVIN: Unheard of.

  13. 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?"

  14. 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.

  16. Some notes on Arthur Miller and "The Last Yankee":

    "What happens when an old moral identity survives—but no longer functions in the world that surrounds it?"

  17. PATRICIA: Not all—I’ve known some lovely men. Not many, but a few. This minister I mentioned?—he came one day this summer and sat with me on our porch . . . and we had ice cream and talked for over an hour. You know, when he left his previous church they gave him a Pontiac Grand Am. He made me realize something; he said that I seem to be in like a constant state of prayer. And it’s true; every once in a while it stops me short, realizing it.

  23. QUENTIN: But what will defend her? *He cries up to Holga*: That woman hopes!

    *She stands unperturbed, resolute, aware of his pain and her own.*

    Or is that—*struck, to the Listener*—exactly why she hopes, because she knows? What burning cities taught her and the death of love taught me: that we are very dangerous! *Staring, seeing his vision*:

  25. MAGGIE: [..] I would never bother you, Quentin. *He looks at his watch, as though beginning to calculate if there might not be time. Maggie, encouraged, glances at his watch.* Just make it like when you’re thirsty. And you drink and walk away, that’s all.

    QUENTIN: But what about you?

    MAGGIE: Well . . . I would have what I gave.

    QUENTIN: You’re all love, aren’t you?

    MAGGIE: That’s all I am! A person could die any minute, you know.”

  26. “MAGGIE: And—what’s moral, again?

    QUENTIN: To live the truth.

    MAGGIE: That’s you!

    QUENTIN: Not yet, dear; but I intend to try. ”

    As I understand, 'Maggie' is based on Marilyn Monroe and Miller's attempt to reckon w his role in her/another's collapse.. interesting..

  28. *The tower blazes into life, and he walks with his eyes upon it.*

    'This is not some crazy aberration of human nature to me. I can easily see the perfectly normal contractors and their cigars, the carpenters, plumbers, sitting at their ease over lunch pails; I can see them laying the pipes to run the blood out of this mansion; good fathers, devoted sons, grateful that someone else will die, not they, ..

  34. “HOLGA: Quentin, I think it’s a mistake to ever look for hope outside one’s self. One day the house smells of fresh bread, the next of smoke and blood. One day you faint because the gardener cut his finger off, within a week you’re climbing over the corpses of children bombed in a subway. What hope can there be if that is so?

  35. "And, of course, despair can be a way of life; but you have to believe in it, pick it up, take it to heart, and move on again. Instead, I seem to be hung up. Slight pause. And the days and the months and now the years are draining away. A couple of weeks ago I suddenly became aware of a strange fact. With all this darkness, the truth is that every morning when I awake, I’m full of hope! ...

  38. “MOTHER [Kate Keller], going upstage with him: You don’t realize how people can hate, Chris, they can hate so much they’ll tear the world to pieces. . . . ”

    All My Sons, 1947

    #arthurMiller #allMySons #books #plays #classics

  39. “Keller is nearing sixty. A heavy man of solid mind and build, a business man these many years, but with the imprint of the machine-shop worker and boss still upon him. When he reads, when he speaks, when he listens, it is with the terrible concentration of the uneducated man for whom there is still wonder in many commonly known things, a man whose judgments must be dredged out of experience and a peasant-like common sense. A man among men."
