I've always made a point of not wasting my life, and every time I come back here I know that all I've done is… — Arthur Miller

Nobody dast blame this man. Willy was a salesman. And for a salesman, there is no rock bottom to the life. He don't put a bolt to a nut, he don't tell you the law or give you medicine. He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back — that's an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you're finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory.

Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.

You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away — a man is not a piece of fruit.
