I started writing for the theatre because I hated it.

We are made to be immortal, and yet we die. It's horrible, it can't be taken seriously

All cats die. Socrates is dead...

All cats die. Socrates is dead. Therefore Socrates is a cat.

DAISY: I never knew you were s...

DAISY: I never knew you were such a realist-I thought you were more poetic. Where's your imagination? There are many sides to reality. Choose the one that's best for you. Escape into the world of imagination.

I am, it seems, an avant-garde dramatist. It would even seem obvious since I am present here at discussions on the avant-garde theatre. It is all entirely official. But what does the term avant-garde mean?

Childhood is the world of mira...

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 'dГ©jГ  vu,' when you are used to existence, you become an adult.

Oh righteous doom, that they who make Pleasure their only end, Ordering the whole life for its sake, Miss that whereto they tend. While they who bid stern duty lead, Content to follow, they, Of duty only taking heed, Find pleasure by the way.

When I was born, I was almost fourteen years old. That's why I was able to understand more easily than most what it was all about.

Logic is a very beautiful thing. As long as it is not abused.

I've always been suspicious of...

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.

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

God is dead. Marx is dead. And I don't feel so well myself.

All the plays that have ever b...

All the plays that have ever been written, from ancient Greece to the present day, have never really been anything but thrillers... Drama's always been realistic and there's always been a detective about... Every play's an investigation brought to a successful conclusion.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

Every work of art (unless it i...

Every work of art (unless it is a psuedo-intellectualist work, a work already comprised in some ideology that it merely illustrates, as with Brecht ) is outside ideology, is not reducible to ideology. Ideology circumscribes without penetrating it. The absence of ideology in a work does not mean an absence of ideas; on the contrary it fertilizes them.

Good men make good rhinoceroses, unfortunately.

I am told, in a dream ... you can only get the answer to all your questions through a dream. So in my dream, I fall asleep, and I dream, in my dream, that I'm having that absolute, revealing dream.

Eugene Ionesco 123 quotes

The light of memory, or rather...

The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.

Describe a circle, stroke its back and it turns vicious.
