More quotes by Max Frisch
You can put anything into words, except your own life.
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
Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, it's a piece of humbug.
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
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
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 older you get the simpler you want to make it.
Max Frisch
When you say a friend has a sense of humor do you mean that he makes you laugh, or that he can make you laugh?
Max Frisch
A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth.
Max Frisch
If anyone has a conscience it's generally a guilty one.
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
Nothing is harder than to accept oneself.
Max Frisch
There is no art without Eros.
Max Frisch
Finished things cease to be a shelter for the spirit but work in progress is a delight.
Max Frisch
Jealousy is the fear of comparison.
Max Frisch
When we travel, we are like a film at the moment of exposure it is memory that will develop it.
Max Frisch
I live, like every real man, in my work.
Max Frisch
If the going is getting too easy, maybe you're going downhill!
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
It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.
Max Frisch
