More From Luigi Pirandello

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. the fixed is a mason jar,and we can't beat it open. ...the fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. it is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and i hate it because at any moment i myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.
Hate Fire Vases
I like the stars. it's the illusion of permanence, i think. i mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. but from here, i can pretend...i can pretend that things last. i can pretend that lives last longer than moments. gods come, and gods go. mortals flicker and flash and fade. worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. but i can pretend.
Life Stars Mean
The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.
Faith Teaching People
Lies about love we are all liars, because the truth of yesterday becomes a lie tomorrow, whereas letters are fixed, and we live by the letter of truth. the love i feel for my friend, this year, is different from the love i felt last year. if it were not so, it would be a lie. yet we reiterate love! love! love! as if it were a coin with fixed value instead of a flower that dies, and opens a different bud.
Liars Lying Flower
You just have to work, we all have to work really hard to take care of ourselves and feed ourselves good information, just like we feed ourselves good food. feed ourselves good books and good messaging and the things that make us feel like we can be connected with ourselves and others in a deeper way.

When i write, i'm still imagining a kid reading it on paper. i read e-books when i travel, but in general i still prefer holding an old-fashioned book in my hands. there's a special, tactile experience.
Book Reading Writing
Those with a gift for action, for their part, often express contempt for those whose gifts are more reflective. men of action like to say, those who can, do, those who cant, teach, forgetting that those who teach get to write the history books.
Book Writing Men
We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century [...] lies where we have never suspected it [...] the only palliative is [...] by reading old books. [...] the books of the future would be just as good [...], but unfortunately we cannot get at them.
