Quote by Arthur Miller

Without alienation, there can be no politics.

Without alienation, there can be no politics.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of alienation is inherently tied to politics. Alienation refers to the feeling of being disconnected, isolated, or separated from a sense of belonging or power. It implies a sense of injustice or inequality, motivating individuals to engage in political action to address and confront these issues. Politics, therefore, relies on the existence of alienation as it fuels the desire for change, social mobilization, and the pursuit of power dynamics that challenge the status quo. Thus, this quote highlights the crucial role of alienation in shaping and fueling political movements and activism.

My readers have to work with me to create the experience. They have to bring their imaginations to the story. No one sees a book in the same way, no one sees the characters the same way. As a reader you imagine them in your own mind. So, together, as author and reader, we have both created the story.
