Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of déjà vu, when you are used to existence, you become an adult.

A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Eugene Ionesco
Image
I am told, in a dream you can only get the answer to all your questions through a dream. So in my dream, I fall asleep, and I dream, in my dream, that I'm having that absolute, revealing dream.
Eugene Ionesco
Image
We are made to be immortal, and yet we die. It's horrible, it can't be taken seriously
Eugene Ionesco
Image
The Arts are man's most useless ... and essential ... activity.
Eugene Ionesco
Image
Drama lies in extreme exaggeration of the feelings, an exaggeration that dislocates flat everyday reality.

Only the ephemeral is of lasting value.
