Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!

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

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
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
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
Luigi Pirandello
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
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
The more arms and legs [children] we have, the richer we are.
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.
