The actor is an athlete of the heart.

This is why true beauty never strikes us directly. The setting sun is beautiful because of all it makes us lose.

The true theater, because it moves and makes use of living instruments, continues to stir up shadows where life has never ceased to grope its way.

I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.

Destroy yourselves, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh.

I cannot conceive any work of art as having a separate existence from life itself

Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into my own life.
