More quotes by Max Frisch
I have no words for my reality.
Max Frisch
Perhaps there are only a few women who experience without deception the overwhelming intoxication of the senses which they expectfrom their encounters with men, which they feel bound to expect because of the fuss made about it in novels, written by men.
Max Frisch
We asked for workers. We got people instead.
Max Frisch
We know that every person who is loved feels transformed, unfolded, and he unfolds everything, the most intimate as well as the most familiar, to the one who loves him as well as to himself.... The person one loves is as ungraspable as the universe, as God's infinite space, he is boundless, full of possibilities, full of secrets.
Max Frisch
Travelling, gentlemen, is medieval, today we have means of communication, not to speak of tomorrow and the day after, means of communication that bring the world into our homes, to travel from one place to another is atavistic.
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
The point is to show who is the cross and who the crucified.
Max Frisch
Every uniform corrupts one's character.
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
I live, like every real man, in my work.
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
In actual fact those who do not care for politics and sit on the fence do indeed side for a political party: The ruling party.
Max Frisch
We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes--or rather, we've seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are televiewers, telehearers, teleknowers.
Max Frisch
It is only the consciousness of a nonexistence which allows us to realize for moments that we are living.
Max Frisch
If the going is getting too easy, maybe you're going downhill!
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
Jealousy is the fear of comparison.
Max Frisch
There is no art without Eros.
Max Frisch
You can put anything into words, except your own life.
Max Frisch
If you criticize what you’re doing too early you’ll never write the first line.
Max Frisch
