Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together.
― Eugène Ionesco -
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.
― Eugène Ionesco -
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
― Eugène Ionesco -
Banality is a symptom of non-communication. Men hide behind their clichés.
― Eugène Ionesco -
Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.

― Eugène Ionesco
