“Why do people always expect authors to answer questions?
I am an author because I want to ask questions.
If I had answers, I’d be a politician.”

Eugene Ionesco

“I’ll never waste my dreams by falling asleep. Never again.”

“I still forget, sometimes, that I am no longer 12 years old.”

Eugene Ionesco

“A work of art really is above all an adventure of the mind.”

Eugene Ionesco

“Realism falls short of reality.
It shrinks it, attenuates it,
falsifies it; it does not take into
account our basic truths and
our fundamental obsessions:
love, death, astonishment.
It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective.
Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.”

“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things,
is the palest light of all….»
Eugene Ionesco

«I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering,
whether I have lived my life or dreamed it.
Just as dreams do,
memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality,
the evanescence of the world,
a fleeting image in the moving water.”

Eugene Ionesco
