We’re like so many puppets hung on the wall, waiting for someone to come and move us or make us talk Picture Quote #1

Life is a very sad piece of buffoonery, because we have.. the need to fool ourselves continuously by the spontaneous creation of a reality.. which, from time to time, reveals itself to be vain and illusory Picture Quote #1

Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be - like the reality of yesterday - an illusion tomorrow Picture Quote #1

When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him Picture Quote #1

Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die! Picture Quote #1

You too must not count too much on your reality as you feel it today, since like yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Life is full of infinite absurdities, which, strangely enough, do not even need to appear plausible, since they are true Picture Quote #1

A fact is like a sack which won't stand up when it is empty. In order that it may stand up, one has to put into it the reason and sentiment which have caused it to exist Picture Quote #1

Each of us when he appears before his fellows is clothed in a certain dignity. But every man knows what unconfessable things pass within the secrecy of his own heart Picture Quote #1

Woe to him who doesn't know how to wear his mask, be he king or pope! Picture Quote #1

What is the stage? It's a place, baby, you know, where people play at being serious, a place where they act comedies. We've got to act a comedy now, dead serious Picture Quote #1

And no one realizes we should all, always, look like that, each with his eyes full of horror at his own, inescapable solitude Picture Quote #1

If only we could see in advance all the harm that can come from the good we think we are doing Picture Quote #1

I would love to spend all my time writing to you; I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul; phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true Picture Quote #1

The facts are to blame, my friend. We are all imprisoned by facts: I was born, I exist Picture Quote #1

I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you Picture Quote #1

Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life Picture Quote #1

In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream Picture Quote #1
