It's when I am fully conscious that I ask questions.

Nothing makes me more pessimistic than the obligation not to be pessimistic.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Of course, not everything is ...

Of course, not everything is unsayable in words, only the living truth.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Childhood is the world of mir...

Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of "d?j? vu," when you are used to existence, you become an adult.

The human comedy does not attract me enough. I am not entirely of this world. I am from elsewhere, and it is worth finding this elsewhere beyond the walls...but where is it?

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Drama lies in extreme exagger...

Drama lies in extreme exaggeration of the feelings, an exaggeration that dislocates flat everyday reality.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Dreams are reality at its most profound, and what you invent is truth because invention, by its nature, can't be a lie.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

I've always been suspicious of collective truths. I think an idea is true when it hasn't been put into words and that the moment it's put into words it becomes exaggerated. Because the moment it's put into words there's an abuse, an excess in the expression of the idea that makes it false.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

To tear ourselves away from t...

To tear ourselves away from the everyday, from habit, from mental laziness which hides from us the strangeness of reality, we must receive something like a real bludgeon blow.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

As soon as one knows one is g...

As soon as one knows one is going to die, childhood is over.... So one can be grown up at seven. Then, I believe most human beings forget what they have understood, recover another sort of childhood that can last all their lives. It is not a true childhood but a kind of forgetting. Desires and anxieties are there, preventing you from having access to the essential truth.

I still forget, sometimes, that I am no longer 12 years old.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Realism falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

In the name of religion, one ...

In the name of religion, one tortures, persecutes, builds pyres. In the guise of ideologies, one massacres, tortures and kills. In the name of justice one punishes...in the name of love of one's country or of one's race hates other countries, despises them, massacres them. In the name of equality and brotherhood there is suppression and torture. There is nothing in common between the means and the end, the means go far beyond the end...ideologies and religion... are the alibis of the means.

Mediocrity is more dangerous in a critic than in a writer.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Theatre is simply what cannot be expressed by any other means; a complexity of words, movements, gestures that convey a vision of the world inexpressible in any other way.

That's how we stay young these days: murder and suicide.

I still forget, sometimes, that I am no longer 12 years old.

I'll never waste my dreams by falling asleep. Never again.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Realism falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.
