More From Arthur Miller

I work in hebrew. hebrew is deeply inspired by other languages. not now, for the last three thousand years, hebrew has been penetrated and fertilized by ancient semitic languages - by aramaic, by greek, by latin, by arabic, by yiddish, by latino, by german, by russian, by english, i could go on and on. it's very much like english. the english language took in many many fertilizations, many many genes, from other languages, from foreign languages - latin, french, nordic languages, german, scandinavian languages. every language has influences and is an influence.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

The americans of other blood must remember that the man who in good faith and without reservations gives up another country for this must in return receive exactly the same rights, not merely legal, but social and spiritual, that other americans proudly possess. we of the united states belong to a new and separate nationality. we are all americans and nothing else, and each, without regard to his birthplace, creed, or national origin, is entitled to exactly the same rights as all other americans.
Spiritual Country Giving Up
I am the kind of person who doesn't recognize borders. i don't understand why we think it is okay to keep someone within one border when they are unable to feed their family when they could be getting help somewhere else. i don't see people as different so i don't understand the idea of borders in this world.

About things on which the public thinks long it commonly attains to think right.
Thinking Long Public Opinion
All ages have said and repeated that one should strive to know one's self. this is a strange demand which no one up to now has measured up to and, strictly considered, no one should. with all their study and effort, people are directed to what is outside, to the world about them, and they are kept busy coming to know this and to master it to the extent that their purposes require. . . . how can you come to know yourself? never by thinking, always by doing. try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to. and what is your duty? whatever the day calls for.

It's not white versus black any more, it's haves versus have-nots. unless the black middle-classes unite to promote the interests of the black underclass, tension between them is inevitable. what we, the black middle class have to do, is think of a strategy to avert that.
