Pretending is a virtue. If you cant pretend, you can't be king.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
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

Luigi Pirandello
Image
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
The more arms and legs [children] we have, the richer we are.
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
Image
Refusing to have an opinion is a way of having one, isn't it?
Luigi Pirandello
Image
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
Image
Each of us, face to face with other men, is clothed with some sort of dignity, but we know only too well all the unspeakable things that go on in the heart.

It is so.When YOU think so
Luigi Pirandello
Image
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.

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