Zitat des Tages von Luigi Pirandello:
Nature uses human imagination to lift her work of creation to even higher levels.
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.
Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be - like the reality of yesterday - an illusion tomorrow.
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.
You too must not count too much on your reality as you feel it today, since like yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow.
Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!
Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
Drama is action, sir, action and not confounded philosophy.
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.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
I would love to spend all my time writing to you; I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul; phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true.
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.
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.
