Women are like dreams, they are never the way you would like to have them.
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!

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
We're like so many puppets hung on the wall, waiting for someone to come and move us or make us talk.
Luigi Pirandello
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
Luigi Pirandello
Pretending is a virtue. If you cant pretend, you can't be king.
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
Life is little more than a loan shark: It exacts a very high rate of interest for the few pleasures it concedes
Luigi Pirandello
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
