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

Luigi Pirandello
Image
The more arms and legs [children] we have, the richer we are.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
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
Image
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.
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
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
Image
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
