Personally, I don't give a rap for documents for the truth in my eyes is not in them but in the mind.
Luigi Pirandello
It is much easier to be a hero than a gentleman.
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
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
Luigi Pirandello
Women are like dreams, they are never the way you would like to have them.
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 would love to spend all my time writing to you I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true.
Luigi Pirandello
The more arms and legs [children] we have, the richer we are.
Luigi Pirandello
Life is little more than a loan shark: It exacts a very high rate of interest for the few pleasures it concedes
Luigi Pirandello
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
We're like so many puppets hung on the wall, waiting for someone to come and move us or make us talk.

Six Characters in Search of an Author.
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
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
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.
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
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
None of us can estimate what we do when we do it from instinct.
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
Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
Luigi Pirandello
