The weaker partner in a marriage is the one who loves the most.

Ibsen is like this room where we are sitting, with all the tables and chairs. Do I care whether you have twenty or twenty-five links on your chain? Hedda Gabler, Nora and the rest: it is not that I want! I want Rome and the Coliseum, the Acropolis, Athens; I want beauty, and the flame of life.

If I had my will, I would live in a ship on the sea and never come nearer to humanity than that!

To save the Theatre, the Theatre must be destroyed, and actors and actresses all die of the Plague ... they make art impossible.

I use everything that I pick up in my memory, and everything that vibrates in my soul.

I have the greatest of all riches: that of not desiring them.

To help, to continually help and share, that is the sum of all knowledge; that is the meaning of art.
