Each of us, face to face with other men, is clothed with some sort of dignity, but we know only too well all the unspeakable things that go on in the heart.
Luigi PirandelloWe all grasp on to a single idea of ourselves, the way aging people dye their hair. Itโs no matter that this dye doesnโt fool you. My lady, you donโt dye your hair to decieve other people, or to fool yourself, but rather to cheat your image in your mirror a little.
Luigi PirandelloThose who understood, in fact, say: 'I mustn't do this, I mustn't do that,' so as not to commit some stupidity or other! Splendid! But at a certain point we realize that all life is stupidity; so tell me yourself what it means never to have done anything foolish. At the very least it means you have never lived.
