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
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
Not one of us can lie or pretend. We're all fixed in good faith in a certain concept of ourselves.
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
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
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
I am an unrealized character, dramatically speaking.
Luigi Pirandello
