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
I've always been suspicious of collective truths. I think an idea is true when it hasn't been put into words and that the moment it's put into words it becomes exaggerated. Because the moment it's put into words there's an abuse, an excess in the expression of the idea that makes it false.
Eugene Ionesco
Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together.
Eugene Ionesco
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
Eugene Ionesco
Only the ephemeral is of lasting value.
Eugene Ionesco

Eugene Ionesco
We are made to be immortal, and yet we die. It's horrible, it can't be taken seriously
Eugene Ionesco
All the plays that have ever been written, from ancient Greece to the present day, have never really been anything but thrillers... Drama's always been realistic and there's always been a detective about... Every play's an investigation brought to a successful conclusion.
Eugene Ionesco
God is dead. Marx is dead. And I don't feel so well myself.
Eugene Ionesco
You've always made the mistake of being yourself.
Eugene Ionesco
Many people have delusions of grandeur but you're deluded by triviality.
