Quotes: Miller, Arthur


Sanctions: 4Sanctions: 4
Salem purified itself nearly to death but in the end some good may have come of it. I am not historian enough to assert this as fact, but I have often wondered if the witchhunt may have helped to spawn, 100 years later, the Bill of Rights, particularly the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits forcing a person to testify against himself — something that would have stopped the witch-hunt in its tracks.
Arthur Miller
