More From Luigi Pirandello

It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. but at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. and perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974)
Perception Puppets May
One morning, in cool blood, i slipped a noose about its neck and hung it to the limb of a tree; — hung it with the tears streaming from my eyes, and with the bitterest remorse at my heart; — hung it because i knew that it had loved me, and because i felt it had given me no reason of offence; — hung it because i knew that in so doing i was committing a sin — a deadly sin that would so jeopardize my immortal soul as to place it — if such a thing were possible — even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the most merciful and most terrible god.
Morning Eye Heart
I hate puppets so much. i dream about puppets all night. i see strings on people. the nice thing is we can just take a puppet and put it in front of a wall and blow the shit out of it.

I have spent probably years of time waiting in studio lounges - waiting on a mix, waiting on my time to sing, waiting on, waiting on, waiting on. that's just the nature of life.
Years Waiting My Time
A man or a woman is said to be absorbed when the water has total control of him, and he no control of the water. a swimmer moves around willfully. an absorbed being has no will but the water's going. any word or act is not really personal, but the way the water has of speaking or doing. as when you hear a voice coming out of a wall, and you know that it's not the wall talking, but someone inside, or perhaps someone outside echoing off the wall. saints are like that. they've achieved the condition of a wall, or a door.
Wall Moving Men
I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.
