It is so.When YOU think so
Luigi Pirandello
Life is a very sad piece of buffoonery, because we have .. the need to fool ourselves continuously by the spontaneous creation of a reality .. which, from time to time, reveals itself to be vain and illusory.
Luigi Pirandello
Not one of us can lie or pretend. We're all fixed in good faith in a certain concept of ourselves.
Luigi Pirandello
Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be - like the reality of yesterday - an illusion tomorrow.
Luigi Pirandello
All I'm saying is that you should show some respect for what other people see with their eyes and feel with their fingers, even though it be the exact opposite.
Luigi Pirandello
A fact is like a sack which won't stand up if it's empty. In order that it may stand up, one has to put into it the reason and sentiment which caused it to exist.
Luigi Pirandello
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
Luigi Pirandello
When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.
Luigi Pirandello
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
Luigi Pirandello
Refusing to have an opinion is a way of having one, isn't it?
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 a character is born, he acquires at once such an independence, even of his own author, that he can be imagined by everybody even in many other situations where the author never dreamed of placing him and so he acquires for himself a meaning which the author never thought of giving him.
Luigi Pirandello
Life is little more than a loan shark: It exacts a very high rate of interest for the few pleasures it concedes
Luigi Pirandello
I would love to spend all my time writing to you I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true.
Luigi Pirandello
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
Luigi Pirandello
Personally, I don't give a rap for documents for the truth in my eyes is not in them but in the mind.
Luigi Pirandello
I am an unrealized character, dramatically speaking.
Luigi Pirandello
If only we could see in advance all the harm that can come from the good we think we are doing.
Luigi Pirandello
Those who understood, in fact, say: 'I mustn't do this, I mustn't do that,' so as not to commit some stupidity or other! Splendid! But at a certain point we realize that all life is stupidity so tell me yourself what it means never to have done anything foolish. At the very least it means you have never lived.
Luigi Pirandello
We're like so many puppets hung on the wall, waiting for someone to come and move us or make us talk.
Luigi Pirandello
