Sisterly love is, of all sentiments, the most abstract. Nature does not grant it any functions.
Ugo Betti
All of us are mad. If it weren't for the fact that every one of us is slightly abnormal, there wouldn't be any point in giving each person a separate name.
Ugo Betti
A vague uneasiness: the police. It's like when you suddenly understand you have to undress in front of the doctor.
Ugo Betti
A long association-prolonged human contact, when a man and woman live together-this ends up producing a sort of rot, a poison.
Ugo Betti
Who cares about great marks left behind? We have one life... just one. Our life. We have nothing else.
Ugo Betti
Nobody is bound by any obligation unless it has first been freely accepted.
