Additional quotes by Eugène Ionesco

It is true that all authors have tried to make propaganda. The great ones are those who failed, who have gained access, consciously or not, to a deeper and more universal reality.

Solitude seems to oppress me. And so does the company of other people.

Obositul ins

Cineva rupea din el

dar nu s-a regăsit.

creștea și-l cuprindea.

Obositul ins
se lăsă cuprins.
