Luigi Pirandello
Image
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
Image
When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.
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.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
I am an unrealized character, dramatically speaking.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
It is misery, you know, unspeakable misery for the man who lives alone and who detests sordid, casual affairs not old enough to do without women, but not young enough to be able to go and look for one without shame!
Luigi Pirandello
Image
It is much easier to be a hero than a gentleman.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
Women are like dreams, they are never the way you would like to have them.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
