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

Luigi Pirandello
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
Luigi Pirandello
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.
Luigi Pirandello
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
Luigi Pirandello
When a character is born, he acquires at once such an independence, even of his own author, that he can be imagined by everybody even in many other situations where the author never dreamed of placing him and so he acquires for himself a meaning which the author never thought of giving him.
Luigi Pirandello
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
We're like so many puppets hung on the wall, waiting for someone to come and move us or make us talk.
Luigi Pirandello
The more arms and legs [children] we have, the richer we are.
Luigi Pirandello
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
