More quotes by Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
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

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
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
Luigi Pirandello

Six Characters in Search of an Author.
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
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
Luigi Pirandello
Shake yourself free from the manikin you create out of a false interpretation of what you do and what you feel, and you'll at once see that the manikin you make yourself is nothing at all like what you really are or what you really can be!
Luigi Pirandello
Women are like dreams, they are never the way you would like to have them.
Luigi Pirandello
I am an unrealized character, dramatically speaking.
