Eugene Ionesco
A nose that can see is worth two that sniff.
Eugene Ionesco
God is dead. Marx is dead. And I don't feel so well myself.
Eugene Ionesco
Childhood is the world of miracle and wonder as if creation rose, bathed in the light, out of the darkness, utterly new and fresh and astonishing. The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us.
Eugene Ionesco
There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.
Eugene Ionesco
To become conscious of what is horrifying and to laugh at it is to become master of that which is horrifying
Eugene Ionesco
We are all looking for something of extraordinary importance whose nature we have forgotten I am writing the memoirs of a man who has lost his memory.
Eugene Ionesco
Many people have delusions of grandeur but you're deluded by triviality.
