More quotes by Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello
When [man] is happy he takes his happiness as it comes and doesn't analyze it, just as if happiness were his right.
Luigi Pirandello
Here is a piece of earth. If you stand staring at it and doing nothing, what does the earth yield? Nothing. Just like a woman.
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

Luigi Pirandello
I am an unrealized character, dramatically speaking.
Luigi Pirandello
Women are like dreams, they are never the way you would like to have them.
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
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.
Luigi Pirandello
Pretending is a virtue. If you cant pretend, you can't be king.
Luigi Pirandello
Refusing to have an opinion is a way of having one, isn't it?
Luigi Pirandello
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
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
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
Luigi Pirandello
