More quotes by Luigi Pirandello
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
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
I am an unrealized character, dramatically speaking.
Luigi Pirandello
Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
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
Here is a piece of earth. If you stand staring at it and doing nothing, what does the earth yield? Nothing. Just like a woman.
Luigi Pirandello
Pretending is a virtue. If you cant pretend, you can't be king.
Luigi Pirandello
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
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
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 more arms and legs [children] we have, the richer we are.
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
