More From Eugene Ionesco
- "Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together."
- "No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa."
- "A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind."
More In Beauty
- "For the greater beauty of the instrument, the balls representing the planets are to be of considerable bigness; but so contrived, that they may be taken off at pleasure, and others, much smaller, and fitter for some purposes, put in their places."― David Rittenhouse
- "Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party – though they are quite numerous – is no freedom at all."― Rosa Luxemburg
- "The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop – is to pause – and when the caravan goes away, that’s when this stuff comes."― David Remnick
