quotes from Arthur Miller

A couple of nice quotes from American playwright and essayist Arthur Miller (1915-2005):

Society is inside of man and man is inside society, and you cannot even create a truthfully drawn psychological entity on the stage until you understand his social relations and their power to make him what he is and to prevent him from being what he is not. The fish is in the water and the water is in the fish.
The Shadows of the Gods

Glamour, that trans-human aura or power to attract imitation, is a kind of vessel into which dreams are poured, and some vessels are simply worthier than others... A beautiful woman can turn heads but real glamour has a deeper pull... Glamour [is] the power to rearrange people's emotions, which, in effect, is the power to control one's environment.

Wittgenstein

Some one line quotes from Wittgenstein, mainly from his notebooks:

Certainly it is correct to say: Conscience is the voice of God.

The meaning of life, i.e. the meaning of the world, we can call God.

To pray is to think about the meaning of life.

To believe in a God means to understand the question about the meaning of life.
To believe in a God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter.
To believe in God means to see that life has a meaning.

It is true: Man is the microcosm:
I am my world.

The way you use the word "God" does not show whom you mean — but, rather, what you mean.

Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.

God does not exist

God does not think, he creates; God does not exist, he is eternal.
