There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.

The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us. When the world seems familiar, when one has got used to existence, one has become an adult.

I started writing for the theatre because I hated it.

Many people have delusions of grandeur but you're deluded by triviality.

I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragoon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least.

If one does not understand the usefulness of the useless and the uselessness of the useful, one cannot understand art.

We haven't the time to take out time.
