Truth Quote by Eugène Ionesco — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“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.”

“BERENGER: And you consider all this natural?”

“It is what it is. Isn't that how these things always go? They are what they are. We just get to cope.”

“I felt, as I have often felt, that my failing the truth could have no bearing at all on the Truth itself, which could never conceivably be in any sense dependent on me or on anyone.”

“Feelings can be like wild animals-we underrate how fierce they are until we've opened their cage”

“You submit to tyranny when you renounce the difference between what you want to hear and what is actually the case. This renunciation of reality can feel natural and pleasant, but the result is your demise as an individual—and thus the collapse of any political system that depends upon individualism.”

“You'd challenge me and lose. You know it, I know it, but you'd still do it. Sometimes your sense of honor confuses the hell out of me.”

“People are basically irritating. Myself included.”
