BORN ON THIS DAY: ARTHUR MILLER

  (October 17, 1915 – February 10, 2005)

"Arthur was the last of the three great theatrical voices of the American century — O'Neill, Williams, Miller. ... Arthur's special achievement was to make political and social plays which belonged on Broadway and yet were also powered to reach out into America and way beyond."
David Hare

"The greatest playwright of the 20th century."
Vaclav Havel

"Writing meant, for him, an effort to locate in the human species a counterforce to the randomness of victimization."
Salman Rushdie

"My conception of the audience is of a public each member of which is carrying about with him what he thinks is an anxiety, or a hope, or a preoccupation which is his alone and isolates him from mankind; and in this respect at least the function of a play is to reveal him to himself so that he may touch others by virtue of the revelation of his mutuality with them. If only for this reason I regard the theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone."
Arthur Miller
