Luigi Pirandello
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
Luigi Pirandello
It is misery, you know, unspeakable misery for the man who lives alone and who detests sordid, casual affairs not old enough to do without women, but not young enough to be able to go and look for one without shame!
Luigi Pirandello
When [man] is happy he takes his happiness as it comes and doesn't analyze it, just as if happiness were his right.
Luigi Pirandello
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
Luigi Pirandello
