More quotes by Max Frisch
Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, it's a piece of humbug.
Max Frisch
The machine has no feelings, it feels no fear and no hope ... it operates according to the pure logic of probability. For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately than man.
Max Frisch
When we travel, we are like a film at the moment of exposure it is memory that will develop it.
Max Frisch
A joke is a good camouflage. Next best comes sentiment... But the best camouflage of all - in my opinion - is the plain and simple truth. Because nobody ever believes it.
Max Frisch
A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth.
Max Frisch
I live, like every real man, in my work.
Max Frisch
You can put anything into words, except your own life.
Max Frisch

Max Frisch
There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that's something no police in the world can spot.
Max Frisch
It is only the consciousness of a nonexistence which allows us to realize for moments that we are living.
Max Frisch
If you criticize what you’re doing too early you’ll never write the first line.
Max Frisch
The point is to show who is the cross and who the crucified.
Max Frisch
If the going is getting too easy, maybe you're going downhill!
Max Frisch
It is conceivable at least that a late generation, such as we presumably are, has particular need of the sketch, in order not to be strangled to death by inherited conceptions which preclude new births.... The sketch has direction, but no ending the sketch as reflection of a view of life that is no longer conclusive, or is not yet conclusive.
Max Frisch
Thou shalt not, it is said, make unto thee any graven image of God. The same commandment should apply when God is taken to mean the living part of every human being, the part that cannot be grasped. It is a sin that, however much it is committed against us, we almost continually commit ourselves--Except when we love.
Max Frisch
The older you get the simpler you want to make it.
Max Frisch
A real life, a life that leaves a deposit in the shape of something alive.... It's difficult to say what makes a life a real life.... You could also say it depends on a person being identical with himself.
Max Frisch
